In an office where there are about 50 -60 pc's I got a call a handful (3 pcs) couldn't get to websites. Went onsite and sure enough those three machines no matter what would get connected. Their IP's were correct, but under further investigation I discovered I couldn't ping the network either.
I rebooted the pc's flushed the dns, reset netsh, it behaved this way either wired or wireless.
So I thought it was a full DHCP list (on my Sophos router) I reset the DHCP server and the computers came back on, so I left.
I discovered that another new computer and the previous ones were not connected to the network again, so I decided to reboot their Servers (which is only doing DNS and file sharing and that seems to be the issue.
However one laptop I was working on would NOT get on the wiifi didn't have a yellow exclamation point on the wifi it just showed the globe instead. However, the lan works and this is fine for this user as they are out of reach of wifi, and yes I moved this pc to within wifi range.
Any thoughts??
Windows 10 pro's, unifi wifi AP's (controller rebooted with reboot), win server 2012 using Hyper V only doing DNS and file share, and a sophose XG210 router doing the DHCP.
