Please check the name and try again. I have got same problem with another server that I ping its ip address and but I can not ping its name (finance2)I logged in remotely to the this server (finance) and I found under My Computer->Properties->Computer Name->full computer name : finance2. , WORKGROUP which is configures :WG,,,,,,,the only difference (unlike DNS server) here that the full computer name is same as the output from ping -a command of the ip of this server.

epp_b Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 No, it's the other way around. Ping the computer/domain name, it gives you the IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 You need to set the primary dns to the dns on the vlan in order for name resolution to work. Your current dns is probably not 192.168.101.99. Run ipconfig /all to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using just workgroups or are you a member of a domain? Edited December 11, 2006 by lewmur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Are you using just workgroups or are you a member of a domain?I have got two accounts: stand alone and member of domain, when I have done this test I was not member of the domain.

Peachy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have got two accounts: stand alone and member of domain, when I have done this test I was not member of the domain.Which suggests are you using DHCP or static addressing. If you join the domain and it provides the IP address then the DNS should be provided by DHCP by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Which suggests are you using DHCP or static addressing.In both cases Laptop is getting ip addresses through DHCP, I have not used static addressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Have you tried nslookup to see if you are using the correct DNS server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
