You're welcome. Your test results show that DNS resolution isn't
working on the client computer. Here are some possible solutions:

1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools | Internet Options | Connections
| LAN Settings, and clear all of the boxes on that screen.

2. Specify your ISP's DNS server address, instead of 192.168.0.1, as
the DNS server in the TCP/IP properties for the client's local area
network connection
