Topology- Frontier business DSL -> DLINK (DIR-655) Frontier's DSL Modem includes a router we do not use other than to put one lan port to the dlink router's wan port. The dlink sees this as local IP,<192.168.1.254> and we access internet through it. 6 Devices are on the DLINK lan. all connected to the internet and all on the same subnet 10.0.0.2 (default gateway).
However on all the machines if you ping any name other than a IP addres, whether a valid device or a made up netbios name you get the following: My results look like this:
ping gtfo (note: fake netbios name)

I ran a factory reset on the DLINK router and still have the same results as above. I have rebooted all the PC's and updated all of their windows updates requirements. 2 pc's running windows 7 including cm7shop and windows 8.1 running on 2 other PC's issue happens from a win 8.1 to win 7 or win 7 to win8.1 or win7 to win7. Everything worked without issue two days ago.
IF anyone can point me in a direction toward a resolution that would be much appreciated. At this point I am unsure what to troubleshoot any longer.
This weekend I have full access and no employees in office so I can reset the entire network and the PC's as need be.
Will even bring in another PC and router to swap with just to try and isolate the issue.

p.s. I would not have believed this had I not seen it
