I am just wondering how this works in the situation: Two of my computers (OS=Windows) are in same subnet and workgroup. There is no DNS and WINS set. But I can ping each other with the computer names.
when I perform nslookup, like "nslookup PC-A", no valid record is found when I perform ping, like "ping PC-A", it works.
Any answer is highly appreciated!!
Thanks. Today I encountered a strange event, after I changed the DHCP reserved IP for PC-A, when I ping PC-A (joined domain abc.com), the DNS suffix is auto appended, it resolves the updated IP, however, if I remove the DNS suffix append, ping PC-A resolved the old IP. What would be the cause? is this a DNS issue? or related to NetBIOS? – user3162764 – 2014-01-06T16:12:08.803
@user3162764 DNS caching. Run a
ipconfig /flushdns
and try again. – Nathan C – 2014-01-06T16:22:17.063
