Answer 1

Hello @Steph Luke

I ould recommend to re-register this computers in the DNS system. From an elevated command prompt run:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

This will refresh the connection of this machine into the DNS system of your domain.

Hope this helps with your query,

Run "ipconfig /all" and verify that all of your machines are using the same DNS servers.

Run dcdiag and check the health of your domain.

Probably something you have checked already - is ICMP disabled?
