Ok, if the computer is at home, isn't a LAN.

Try with this two command first in CMD:

1- ipconfig /flushdns do 2 or 3 times and after this, continuo with this:
2- ipconfig /registerdns only one time.

If the problem continuous, is better that call to the ISP (Internet service provider), 'cause the DNS is the server that assigns the IP automatically to all PCs for this PCs can surf the web.

Data source name, the problem is that keeping lost connection with the source, maybe 'cause the OBDC reject the authentication of the user.
