ping NS server by Hostname or IP

Hello,

First of all verify that you can ping client from NS and NS from client using IP and hostname, also verify that NS can be reached from client by FQDN.

This is a main problem when clients are not in domain. If problem in visibility of NS from client, try to add manualy the same DNS server in client network configuration settings or use hosts file

 

Regards,

Dmitri
