..and when i try to join from the windows machine, it gives me this error message:

A domain controller for the domain datahouse.org could not be contacted.

An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain datahouse.org.

The error was: "No records found for given DNS query."
(error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.datahouse.org
