Net::Telnet Question - Using Windows

[Edge118]

Hi,

I was trying to use the Telnet module and I typed the following code into my script:

use Net::Telnet();
$t = new Net::Telnet;
$t->open({Full Computer Name});

For the line $t->open...I right clicked on "My Computer" and typed in the "Full Computer Name(computername.domain)" located under the identification tab. It gives me an "Unknown remote host" error. Is it possible to use the name and domain of the machine to connect to connect to it?

Sorry for not being very clear and precise.

Regards,

Chris

Chris,
Do you have a DNS server on your network that will resolve the fully qualified name? You might try executing an nslookup command on your full computer name and see if it can be resolved. If nothing else, it will eliminate DNS as an issue.
