Hi there.

Host machine on same network LAN address 192.168.1.102 on WLAN - perfectly good connection / internet etc

Name BROWNBEAR

Windows machine to be pinged -- BLACKDOG on 192.168.1.103 but on a LAN (Ethernet)

Both PHYSICAL machines (i.e not running inside VM's)

FROM BLACKDOG no problem pinging BROWNBEAR either by Host name or IP address

BLACKDOG in the Ethernet connector seems to have a Connection specific DNS suffix WAG320N (Where that came from I haven't a clue !!) - It seems to be the HOSTNAME in the router.


BROWNBEAR pinging BLACKDOG via IP address 192.168.1.103 --works fine and shares accessible via mount via IP address.

Now when BROWNBEAR Pings BLACKDOG via Host name (BLACKDOG) it returns slowly PING BLACKDOG.WAG320N(62.169.151.91) -- haven't a clue where it got that IP from !!!.

Looks like I've got a DNS hose up somewhere

Anybody got any suggestions as to "Unhose" it. I don't want to refer to BLACKDOG by IP address each time since after reboots this will change (should be managed by DHCP). I haven't a clue on WHICH machine the problem is on -- BROWNBEAR is WIFI connected while BLACKDOG is on Ethernet.

Windows networking Grrrrh !!!!!!

IPCONFIG for BLACKDOG (Ethernet connected) shown

Router Ethernet settings shown (should I have a Domain !!) Always worked without one before





Cheers
jimbo
