3. ip, dns , wins entries same server.
4. firewalls off.

hi,

dns pointing should configured proper on new added servers, domain controllers , domain members.

configure dns settings on dc , members per below article.
best practices dns client settings on dc , domain members.
http://abhijitw.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/best-practices-for-dns-client-settings-on-domain-controller/

once done above, run below commands:
net stop dns & net stop netlogon & ipconfig /flushdns & net start dns & net start netlogon & ipconfig /registerdns

also clear cached credentials on problem machine using net use /d *

still issue persist see artricle:

if still issue reoccurs post dcdiag /q , ipconfig /all from dc , problem machine.
