I have check all my computer names. They don't have spaces or underscores.
Some computers have a hyphen but do not have any illegal characters. I do
have printers/photocopiers that use the underscore but that doesn't make
sense why I would get an error message saying there is an invalid packet
from my dns server.
Here is the error message again with event id 5504
The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from
142.165.5.2. The packet is rejected. (142.165.5.2 is my isp's DNS server)
