Usually creating a Forwarder to your ISP, and making sure you are pointing
the DC to itself and not the ISP's should do the trick. Also multi NICs can
cause this if not configured properly, but then again, multihomed DCs are
not recommended due to DNS implications.

But this is all assumption since you didn't provide any configuration info
for us to give you a better diagnosis and/or resolution.

If you like, please provide the following:

OS version and SP level
Unedited ipconfig /all
Name of AD DNS Domain name in ADUC
Name of zone and if updates are allowed
