Setup W2k Active Directory with BIND

Dear all,

For the past few days I have been trying to run dcpromo on a W2k box, which uses BIND rather than MS-DNS. I found (and used) much documentation on the internet (including this newsgroup) on how to set this up. I also have a copy of the fourth edition of O'Reilly's "DNS and BIND" by Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu, which explains the topic clearly, however I keep running into the same problem: dcpromo tells
me:

The wizard cannot contact the DNS server that handles the name "win2k.example.com" to determine if it supports dynamic update. Confirm your DNS configuration, or install and configure a DNS server on this computer.

I am running BIND 9.2.5 and the Windows 2000 box has Service Pack 4 installed. The IP address of the BIND server is 10.0.2.4. Its name is bind.example.com and a CNAME record named ns1.example.com points to it.

The IP address for the W2k box is 10.0.2.5. My main domain is "example.com" (for purposes of non-disclosure) and I am trying to get the Windows box registered in "win2k.example.com". The Windows machine also has its Primary DNS suffix set to win2k.example.com.
