I have setup a Windows server, installed an Active Directory domain, but I am unable to add my other office computers to the domain due to this error:

"An attempt to resolve the DNS name of domain controller in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS Server that can resolve DNS names."

All computers in an Active Directory domain must use domain controllers as their DNS servers, and only them.

In your case, this means the server must use 192.168.2.8 (or 127.0.0.1) as ist DNS server, but not 66.28.0.61.

All other computers must use 192.168.2.8, and only that.
