I configure my home FreeBSD OS as server. I run FreeBSD under
WinXP with VMWare Workstation 4.
On my work, Web Programmers company, FreeSD is configured so
(DNS under FreeBSD is configured for zone "office.net" with hosts host1 & host2),
that from WinXP I can ping host1 and host2 without domain name:
windows xp console: ping host1 -> ok ping host2 -> ok ping host1.office.net -> ok ping host2.office.net -> ok
XP PC is user of workgroup, DNS-suffix is empty. Only DNS in LAN settings is entered. That's all.
I have configured my home DNS under FreeBSD with office template. I have entered DNS,
but at home I can ping only full host names (with domains):
windows xp console: ping host1 -> no reply ping host2 -> no reply ping host1.office.net -> ok ping host2.office.net -> ok
Why? I can't understand. I try to solve this problem 5 days, but nothing helps me. When I entered DNS suffix: office.net -> OK. But in my office that works without DNS-suffix.
