It seems that the problems for scrobo101 is inverted with
the problem of bb
The only diffencence I can see betwen the two is the first
one has:
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : teknor.com
I don't know why this one has it but not the other one.

Thanks for all your inputs.

Are these machines members of an Active Directory domain?
Neither have primary DNS suffixes and you didn't post the ipconfig's for the
machines you are trying to ping.
SFMBO132 has neither a primary DNS suffix or a Connection specific suffix so
unless DHCP is registering for it, there is not way for it to register its
addresses.
You should have posted the ipconfig for the machines that you are trying
ping.

Hope This Helps
============================

Hi Kevin,

Seems the second one is not a DHCP client, hence no search suffix.
Apparently DHCP has Option 015 set to teknor.com, which is why the first one
does have the search suffix. I guess if the second one is to be kept static,
then the search suffix would need to be manually populated.

You're right, if an AD client, then assuming the settings are left default,
once the machine has been added to the domain, it would pick up the Primary
DNS Suffix.

Hi Kevin and Ace,
The computer Scrbo101 is an HP CD tower running a
proprietary OS on it accessible through a web interface.
It's manually config for
Internet Address 10.1.2.10
Default Router 10.1.1.250
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Domain Name teknor.com
Primary DNS Server 10.1.2.30
Primary Wins server 10.1.2.30

And we have not implemented AD our pdc is NT4
It seems that on the machine sfmbo132 (which is static and
nothing in the configuration has change for months)
doesn't look at the dns server.
ex. If I type www.msn.com it's working
When I type (in IE)an internal server name like YUL00DCI
it opens a web page (yul00dci is enter in the wins server
using lmhost)
But when I type http://bb or http://ups50 which are not in
the wins server but just HOST links in the DNS forward
lookups table it doesn't work.
It's like if sfmbo132 doesn't communicate with the DNS
server (which is swmbo138) and I did more test and all our
servers are on vlan 10.1.2.x and all have the same problem
(and they all use statics ip's).
But, when I type
http://ups50.teknor.com or
http://bb.teknor.com it's working!

When you try to resolve a single name, a DNS lookup would affix the suffix
prior to the query. So if you type in
http://bb
And you suffix is teknor.com
And there's a host record under the teknor.com zone called 'bb', then it
will resolve it.

If no suffix, then it will never query DNS.
