As mentioned above, You need to set the primary DNS address for your client machines to point to the internal DNS server of your domain. This is usually the first Domain Controller you setup. If not, point to the internal DNS server you used during your AD install.

If you are using DHCP to assign IPs, make sure your DNS settings in the DHCP scope are pointing to the correct DNS servers.
