You have these DNS servers listed: DNS Servers.........................:192.168.0.111 192.168.0.101 41.203.203.18 41.203.203.19 8.8.8.8 The 192.168.0.x DNS servers are your local DNS servers on your network. The other three are public dns servers and cannot resolve any of your internal DNS. You should remove the three public DNS servers from the client, leaving only the 192.168.0.x DNS servers. Should fix your issue.
