DNS Question

my computer gets 3 dns from the DHCP Server. 10.203.3.11 / 10.203.3.10 / 218.207.217.242. At the beginning, everything is fine. However, after a while, I can not RDP my intranet servers. I check with nslookup. DNS works well. It is strange that why I can not RDP server with computer name. I only can work with IP Address.
Then I ipconfig/renew. Then the system works well.
Why? Can someone tell me the reason?

Sounds like an interesting problem. If you don't mind I got a couple of questions for you.
- When you are unable to RDP to your intranet servers, can you still resolve their names correctly if you ping the server using the hostname or does it timeout?
- How do the intranet servers get their IP Configuration, DHCP or manually assigned?
- Did you create A records on your DNS servers for the servers you are trying to RDP?

you should never have the external dns ip address on the interface which is 218.207.217.242. Instead you can use the forwarders. Remove the EXTERNAL dns ip from the dhcp server and recheck the issue.

Hi Jacky,
Firstly, we recommend that add ISP or public DNS in DNS Forwarders instead add it in DNS client settings.
Meanwhile, regarding the issue, please try the following and see how it works:
1. Clear DNS cache and try again.2. If we use FQDN when RDP to remote server, does the issue also occur?
3. Before run ipconfig /renew, please check if the host records are correct in your DNS Servers.
However, if issue persists, please provide un-edited ipconfilg /all, nslookup results on both local and remote computers for further research.

Hope this helps.
