my setup: home network with a cable modem where all computers are behind a wireless router. server connects via wireless card, most other clients are connected directly to router
I got my domain controller setup and i was able to join one workstation to the domain. however, from the server machine if i ping computername (client machine that just joined), it works fine. or if i ping ip it works fine. but if i ping computername.domain.local it doesnt work.

Do a nslookup on your client systme:
nslookup [client system ip]
You will be able to tell the FQDN of your client system. Or do ipconfig /all at your client system to see its FQDN. you may have entered the wrong FQDN of your client system when ping.
