So I have an Amazon EC2 box running Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory installed on it. I also have a Windows 7 virtual machine, which is set to use the Active Directory box as its DNS and WINS server. I'm trying to join the virtual machine to the domain, and I'm asked for authentication. I give authentication, wait a minute, and I get an error saying:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "ad.chigs.me":
The network path was not found.
How can I fix this so that I'll be able to join the domain?

Problems like this are always due to DNS.
Try the following commands from the PC you are trying to join to the domain
They should both resolve if you've got everything configured correctly.
It would be beneficial if you would include the output of
ipconfig /all
and ip details for your domain controllers within your question.
