What would cause people to keep losing connections to the servers? &nbsp;It's not happening to everyone and it doesn't happen at the same time for every user. &nbsp;Also, like I said, if I log on as an administrator there is no problem.

Weird problem. &nbsp;Last week the users were having internet issues where some pages would pop up fine, but if you clicked a link it would error out. &nbsp;It turned out that we had to change the dns server from our local computer to 8.8.8.8 and it started working fine.<br />
<br />
Now this week users keep losing connection to applications on our servers. &nbsp;Sometimes they can get on fine, other times they have to restart the computer and it will connect. &nbsp;I can ping the servers just fine, and e-mail and internet work, too. <br />
<br />
It looks like if I log on as an administrator I have no problems. &nbsp;The security settings haven't been changed on anyone, so what could be happening?
