I put the entry for host file on the on the server for my backup server. It
works great. Now the backup has started. But why is this machine not talking
to my DNS server, even though the entries are alright??
Thanks

Can it be the routing issue? Is either the backup or the server in question a
multihomed machine? Try putting entries in a HOST file on both machines and
try
pinging again. This way, you will eliminate the name resolution issue and
will
be able to concentrate on a network issue
When you ping by name, which error do you get:
- unknown host..
- destination host is not reachable
- request timed out?

No, we do not have any manual mapping of machines IP address in either host
file or lmhost file. When I ping any machine by name from this server they get
resoloved except for few servers. Unfortunately one of them being the backup
server. So I am not able to do the backup for last 2 days. I just now tried
ipconfig /flushdns without any luck.

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!.
