We have a computer running ubuntu with name nameA
. The DNS server runs on ubuntu as well, while all other computers are windows 7.
If I ping the computer from another ubuntu, all fine, the name is resolved correctly.
$ nslookup nameA
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53
Name: nameA.domainname
Address: 192.168.30.30
If I do the same on a windows 7 machine I get Domain non-existant
, while it works if I append the domainname: nslookup nameA.domainname
. If I nslookup
other machines it doesn't find them without the domain name appended, but it is able to ping them with or without the domain name.
The names are listed as nameA.domainname nameB.domainname ...
on the DNS.
