Strange hostname issue

[TSch]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to locate the setting that is being used to connect one of our machines to another one.

Problem is, that the destination machine shows something like this, when I run "showmount" command:

ARCHIVE.company.com
(using capital letters !!)

But it's supposed to show:

archive.company.com

So far I found this ARCHIVE.company.com nowhere on the source machine. Everywhere I looked it showed either "archive" or "archive.company.com". No capital letters anywhere ...

So far I tried the following:

hostname
/etc/hosts
External DNS Server
smitty tcpip
smitty nfs

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but right now I can't think of anywhere else to look ...

Any ideas where else I could look or how to locate the incorrect setting ?

Regards
Thomas

You've got to look for that name on the destination machine. IMHO it's the hostname resolution on that machine that comes up with the name in capitals letters. The most obvious place to look is local hosts file on destination machine as you've already checked DNS...


HTH,
