Resolution Problem

[paulfitzg]

I have a Windows 2003 network using a Windows 2003 server for my main DNS server. All desktops are 2000 or XP Pro.
We have a couple of internal web servers and I am having difficulty resolving their domain names.

If I use Internet Explorer and enter

http://computer_name

everything works fine but if I use

http://computer_name.domain

it resolves some of the time.

I find that if I ping the full domain name and then enter it in to the browser it will resolve ok.

Everything is internal, on the same LAN and using a single domain.

Any ideas?

Regards

Paul.

What error message (if any) are you getting when you are not resolving?
