Hi,<br />
for a few months now it seemed that every other sunday nite one of our servers at a remote site was going offline after an automatic restart and it would show up as offline in logmein but just recently we had our vpn connection back so i was able to log into that server thru remote desktop even though it shows as offline in logmein. &nbsp;So the good thing is that all this time we thought the server was inaccessible after it restarted it was actually online on the network but just showing offline in logmein. &nbsp;What i noticed in testing another pc which also went offline in logmein recently after a restart, was that if i added an alternate dns server pointing to 8.8.8.8 then the machine would show as online again under logmein. &nbsp;Any ideas? thanks.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
