this problem does not happen, all the time. If I'm going to restart the server then It will fix the problem. what do you think is the problem here? thanks.

The problem is your DNS setup. Either the client is using an external DNS server or you don't have your local DNS server setup to resolve the host properly.


If you're trying to get to ftp.company.com, your local DNS server needs to host the zone company.com (or ftp.company.com) with the appropriate records for the local FTP server.

If that is already setup then the client is most likely querying an external DNS server instead of the local DNS server. My guess, since it only happens some of the time, is that the client has an external DNS server configured in the TCP/IP properties.
