Hello, "DNS Suffix Search List 192.168.10.2" Here should never be placed an ip address, instead the domain is needed.

Please post the real ipconfig /all output also from the workstation.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
