Cause

This issue occurs because the new allocated address is not added to the network when the unicast address of the dial-out adapter is not available.

The network snapshot contains the dial-out adapter in reconnection. The adapter information is from an in-memory snapshot of IPHelper. However, the retrieval of unicast addresses is from IPHelper. Therefore, a reconnection does not occur when the in-memory snapshot does not contain current adapter information.
