What address is the Win 7 machine using for DNS? What happens if you do an nslookup for your domainFQDN from a command prompt?Bill

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1. Please check your DNS settings and you can try:
Renew DNS client registration using the ipconfig command
2. Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP in Windows 7:
1) Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections.
2) Right-Click on the connection and choose Properties.
3) Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Version 4 in the list.
4) Click Properties, and then click Advanced.
5) On the Advanced TCP/IP settings windows, go to WINS tab.
6) Under NetBIOS setting, click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and then click OK.
Hope this helps. Thanks.Nicholas Li - MSFT
