ping problems. suggestions appreciated

[Guest chail]

if i ping a host, ping -a 10.x.x.x, i recieve an incorrect response. the

hostname is wrong.

 

i have tried to flush the dns resolver cache (ipconfig /flushdns).

 

then if i try again i might get a different response.

 

what could be causing this.

Hello,

 

Check your dns, both reverse and domain zone.

Check that this host doesn't have more than one entry in the dns domain

zone.

there are some double in the reverse lookup zone. some have the fqdn and

others do not. i assume the fqdn names are the ones i want to keep. would

that be correct? thank you.

That's right, PTR should only have FQDN in the reverse zone

Re: ping problems. suggestions appreciated

 

yes, they are somehow useless without a domain.

You may investigate to understand how they were created anyway.
