Unable to Ping Server By Name

Posted: 09-23-2008, 08:45 AM
This is really strange One of my vista machine stopped resloved the
server by name . I can ping the server by IP address but not by name.
All the other client machines on the network can do it by both. it is
a problem because one of my programs will not work because of it Also
I can ping other client nachines on the netwrok by name and ip adress
just not my server

I can map the server machine by ip address but not name? Any ideas

What are the DNS settings on that machine that can no longer ping by
name?
