VM can't ping LAN name but sees it via nslookup
- by amphibient
I am trying to connect to a network resource from my 10.04.4 VM (VMware Fusion) but the destination is unreachable by name.
What is weird is that the name is visible in DNS:
>nslookup my.name
Server: 123.45.67.89
Address: 123.45.67.89#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: my.name
Address: 10.20.30.40
I can reach it (via ping) by the IP address (10.20.30.40) but not the name and I thought that was weird because the DNS clearly resolves the name. What can I do to enable access to this resource via the name?
