Hi,
We use linux as a DNS server for our local network. ( linuxnol.nollekens.be )
We can ping this machine on all our XP clients like this:
C:\>ping linuxnol
Until yesterday it was on our XP clients enough to type "ping ibm250" ( our 2de unix server, an AIX ).
But after a shutdown of this 2de server, we can not use "ping ibm250" anymore
we need to type "ping ibm250.nollekens.be"
Why don't we need to type this for the linuxnol?
And why can't we type ping ibm250 anymore and do we have to add the domain 'nollekens.be'?
Now we had to add on every XP client that it should add 'nollekens.be' to every dns lookup request. This was not needed before
