Hi Chris and Edward, I don't have many Windows machines around my dnsmasq managed, statically attributed LAN, but at least one is used daily, and I just ran a test on it, which makes me ask a question to Edward: How did you (both) test that the machine does not resolve? Here's why I'm asking: I've tested the following with a Windows machine (let's call it romulus) and my Linux machine (let's call it remus). From the command prompt on romulus, I ran the following: ping remus => romulus complains that it could not find host remus. nslookup remus => This resolves immediately to remus' fixed IP address. ping remus. (note the dot at the end!) => This works. If I'd believed the first ping, I might have concluded that the resolution did not work, while it actually does; the issue is with how romulus handles domainless names. Hence my question re: how exactly the issue was tested. Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
