can only ping FQDM's ???

[OFFYM]

Hi

I have 2 forests (server 2003) which which have been trusted (transitive).

uk.com <-----> spain.com

My problem is that i can ping fully qualified domain names from the uk to spain machines i.e

machine1.uk.com to machine2.spain.com

but i cannot just ping the machine names on there own without typing the FQDM.

i'm sure this is a DNS thing??

any idea's what i need to do to resolve??

many thanks

I have resolved the issue

i added the domains to the DNS suffix
