Geo,

I did. Answer is 'unknown host'. If I ping it by IPaddress, it responds
well. Moreover, whenever I try to connect to this mysterious domain 'DELL'
it says 'PDC not found'. I try to admin the workstation DELL from the
NT-server (PDC) remove and add it from the usual domain is ok. Promoting
the machine DELL to BDC won't work, responds again with 'PDC not found'.

I'm really out of ideas.
