Ping can’t resolve a Name, but Nslookup can

Nslookup and ping work differently when resolving names/ip addresses on Windows.

Ping can use previously failed cached record,  nslookup doesn’t use the cache, it queries the DNS server directly

Try this:

on the client machine,  run  ipconfig /flushdns
