Re: cannot ping by name

[andrey_kalinin]

can it be that you have a HOST file with incorrect IP->host mapping on a machine
from which you cannot ping?

When you ping by name, does it resolve the name correctly?  Does it resolve the
name at all?

Hi guys,

>From one particular server, I cannot ping "some" servers by name. I can ping
the same servers by IP address or I can do nslookup. I am sure it is not name
servers issue because all other machines can ping any machine by name or IP
address on the network. I also checked the DNS entry on that particular
server, everything looks right. Any thought on this? You can be sarcastic!! I
don't mind. By the way, this is the only 2000 server on an NT network, if that
makes any difference!.
