Cannot access fqdn but only by netbios
Cannot access fqdn but only by netbios
- We have some laptops that can't access an open share with their logon script.
So when they logon onto their laptop in the domain the share isn't mapped as it used to be. When we map it manually with the netbios (\\serverx\share) it works but when we map it manually with \\serversx.domain.com\share it doesn't work.
In dns the record of the file server hosting the share is correct and ip address is ok.
I can't see where it blocks
Answers
- Can you post a reply as to what happens when you do
net use * \\ServerIPAddress\share ?
If that works, the laptops are not able to resolve the IP address even though the DNS has correct entry

- What are the OS versions of the laptop and the server? Are the laptop and server in the same domain? Can the laptop resolve the server with nslookup?
- It seems that everything is back again. We had a simple network problem. Thank you
