Workstations cannot join domain

I have a new Windows 2003 Business Server. Everything seems to work, can get
to the web do updates, etc.

However none of the workstations can join the Domain, I have the DNS on the
work stations pointing to the new server. The workstations cannot ping the
server. However, the Server CAN ping the work stations. What am I missing?

Is the any firewall enabled on that server?

Firewall is on, on the server. When the server became a DC it should all this
info to pass through I would think

Wht would a DC need to allow ping?

Check the firewall settings for ICMP echo. That is what ping uses.
