Question : Accessing with Hostname/FQDN/IP address
Accessing with Hostname/FQDN/IP address
I would like to know if DNS is used when accessing a share in a remote computer (Samba) using:
\\IPaddress\sharename
\\computername\sharename
\\computername.domainname\
sharename
I have some computers that start recently having issue accessing the share using:
\\computername\sharename
But able to access the share using:
\\computername.domainname\
sharename
\\IPaddress\sharename
the issue just started recently and there is nothing in the Logs about this issue
Any idea?
Thanks
Answer : Accessing with Hostname/FQDN/IP address
Both attempts should use dns. Do you get any differences when you try:
nslookup computername
vs.
nslookup computer.domainname
Do you have multiple dns records in your dns server for the same computer name?
