To add the computer to the domain:
First you must to have administrator rights on the domain.
Also, chech inside the AD on the computers names if this computer name does exist. If so, you have to change the name of the computer.
After this, right click on my computer and go to properties, look for the computer name / network tab and select "add to a domain".
When the systems asks for your user, enter your domain user and password. With that you must be able to add the computer to the domain.
For the internet problem, be sure that you have an ip address that is in the range of your network, use IPCONFIG to know that.
Check on the internet explorer options, connection, LAN configuration if everything is right.
I hope that would help
Best regards

The error that I get when I try to add the computer to the domain is: Network Identification - The following error occurred validating the name "domain". This condition may be caused by a DNS Lookup problem. For information about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems, please see the follow microsoft website: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=5171 the specified domain could not be contacted.
I have gone to the website and it does not provide me with anything that helped.

Looks like you have not set a name for your domain I know this sounds obvious but make sure you are trying to join the correct domain.
The fact that you got the error 'The following error occurred validating the name "domain".'
Shows to me that you have set the domain name to 'domain' is that the name of your domain? If so I would change it to avoid confusion.
