are they connected over a wired network?  No wireless adapters (unstable wireless?)?

<div>
I'm trying to give you some pointers here...<br />
<br />
Try to determine if the problem is on networking side, dns, or dhcp.<br />
If you have &nbsp;the problem, can you do a ping to the ad on ip? &nbsp;(This could exclude adhcp-ip problem.)<br />
What about the lease time on the dhcp server?<br />
can you ping the gateway?<br />
Did you check the network connectivity (stability) of the DNS=DHCP server? do you have a backup dns-dhcp?

Hello all :)<br />
<br />
I have a VERY strange problem that has just appeared.<br />
<br />
We run a windows AD domain, mix of server 2008 and 2012 with DHCP.<br />
<br />
Lately some users are losing access to the internet.<br />
<br />
Running a nslookup command returns &quot;server unknown&quot;<br />
<br />
Releasing and renewing the IP on that PC fixes that problem for several hours until it happens again.<br />
<br />
The DNS server also runs DHCP and is a DC.<br />
<br />
I have checked the DHCP settings and they are all correct with regards DNS IP, gateway IP etc.<br />
<br />
What could be causing this odd behaviour?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
Tracy
