Thank you for all your help. We haven't had any interruptions since the
changes before. A couple follow up questions if I can.

how do I disable and re-enable the dial in adapter?
Also I noticed in Routing and Remote Acess, 127.0.0.1 listed as loopback.
Is that the problem that will be fixed with the restart (the dns is
configured to listen only to 10.0.0.2).

Basically, we have 2 domain controllers and 1 terminal servers which all
have private and public IP addresses. I am confused on the perferred
structure. Should file sharing not be done on a server with a public ip
address? Or am I misunderstanding?

I am unclear about what interfaces are? I just did a search on
microsoft.com but that just made me more confused. Should I not list the
public address but make it an "A" record in DNS? I am confused.
