Hi,
Looking for some advice. Office A is the head office and has the domain server located there. Office B connects to A through a VPN Vigor router to another Vigor router in office A.
In office B, sometimes the shared map drives will loose their connection, microsoft exchange will say disconnected in outlook. B's computers, tried changing the DNS settings but nothing seems to fix it. Set preferred DNS server to the 192.xxx domain server which is located in office A and then set alternative DNS server 8.8.8.8 (google dns). Office B users then say internet to external sites are slow. So swapped it to be 8.8.8.8 first and then 192 second. Seems to work well for some time, then microsoft exchange will say disconnected even though you can ping it and map drives will be unavailable.
Tried also using lmhost file to resolve the domain server but still the exchange server will say disconnect.
What are peoples view on the preferred and alternative DNS settings. Which order should they be in? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
