Question : Strange hostname when i resolve IP
Hi
I have a strange behaviour from one of my host inside a LAN.
If i try to resolve the IP address, the hostname i receive is "your-912865f9a1" instead the correct one.
The host is running windows XP and the Domain is a windows 2003 domain.
If i type ipconfig /all that's what i get:
C:\>ipconfig /all

I can use nslookup and everything seems find but i have this strange host name when i resolve the ip address.
Resolving IP Address: 192.168.27.15
IP Address: 192.168.27.15
Host Name: your-912865f9a1
I don't understand how can i solve the problem.
Thanks.
