One user on one machine cannot access DFS Namespace...

So I have one of the strangest issues I've ever seen: I have one user who cannot access the DFS Namespace from one workstation. The use can access DFS from any other machine, just not hers. I've tried some suggestions I found on TN, but to no avail. The user can access network drives by using the \\servername, but not \\domain.local\share. They did have Offline Files enabled, but I disabled it and rebooted. I also removed the machine from the Domain and then re-added it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian,
Whether there are more than 1 referral target of the DFS namespace? Please test if the user (on that specific machine) could access all referral targets with \\servername.
Meanwhile please check if the IP address of that machine is in the correct site it should be.
