Normally, there's a period following the "domain.com", i.e., the file
should show:
machine.domain.com. A 192.168.x.y
othername1 CNAME machine.domain.com.
If you don't have the period, DNS automatically tacks on the
domain.com suffix to everything. i.e., if you have this:
machine.domain.com A 192.168.x.y
othername1 A machine.domain.com
othername2 A machine.domain.com
what DNS "sees" is this:
machine.domain.com.domain.com. A 192.168.x.y
othername1.domain.com. A machine.domain.com.domain.com.
othername2.domaind.com. A machine.domain.com.domain.com.
especially if you have this line further up in the zone file:
$ORIGIN domain.com.
Here's a way to test in CLI on the Windows and Mac boxes: Type
"nslookup machine" (without the suffix) and let us know what you
get. Then type "nslookup machine.domain.com" and finally, "nslookup
machine.domain.com." (note the period following "domain.com"--it's
part of the command). Each time, tell us what you get.

I've found the issue, although there is a weird thing still going on:
So by default what I would do in DNS is:
machine.domain.com A 192.168.x.y
othername1 CNAME machine.domain.com
othername2 CNAME machine.domain.com
etc...
Now in order to access that machine by "machine" on the PC side and
wireless, I had to add:
machine CNAME machine.domain.com
Don't really know why- I have worked with DNS for a while on other
machines and this is never an issue. Usually the A record kicks in
and points to the IP, but w/o the redundant CNAME, it will not work
over the wireless or for the PCs.
So that's it, or at least for this issue.

Also have you got the logs from the present configuration, in
particular
when you start the service?
Event viewer eventires on the windows clients?
