I'd check to make sure the domain controller and problem member both have the static ip address of DC listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS.

    Your domain controller should have it's own static ip address listed primary and loopback (127.0.0.1) listed as secondary.

      I have changed this to include the loopback, still seeing the same error. But can connect when connected to my mobile hotspot via wifi.

        Please run;

        Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.log (run on PDC emulator)
        repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt (run on **any** domain controller)
        ipconfig /all > C:\%computername%.txt (run on **EVERY** domain controller)
        ipconfig /all > C:\problemworkstation.txt (run on problem pc)


        Also check the domain controller System and Replication (DFS or FRS) event logs for errors since last boot. Post the Event Source and Event IDs of any found. (no evtx files)

        then put `unzipped` text files up on OneDrive and share a link.
