16914 2001-08-13 01:21:00 I work for an australasian company and have a Win2000 laptop on the NZ network which shows in ipconfig that is part of the .co.nz domain. And therefore replies with a .co.nz domain suffix when pinging itself. However when I ping the machines Netbios name from a remote pc on the same network the laptop replies with a .com.au domain suffix.

I have tried flushing the local dns cache but that didn't help.

We use WINS, but being dynamic it should surely have corrected the entry itself?

A couple of NT4 machines are also having this problem.

Any direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks

How does your client obtain it's domain information, via DHCP, or a manual entry in the network properties? Does your client register itself in DNS, or do you not use dynamic DNS? When attempting to ping it from a remote computer, which node type is the remote computer configured as? If you perform a 'nbtstat -a netbiosname' on the client from a remote host, what information is contained in the nametable? Is your DHCP server configured to register leases in dynamic DNS?
