DNS resolution over DHCP
- by Eric
I have a m0n0wall router
a VMWare workstation running ubuntu
a windows 7 workstation running the VM
The ubuntu hostname is "renraku"
From the windows machine I can't resolve dns automatically for this host. For example, when I
ping renraku
Ping request could not find host renraku. Please check the name and try again.
However nslookup seems to work
nslookup renraku
Server: m0n0wall.local
Address: 192.168.123.254
Name: renraku
Address: 192.168.123.248
I don't get how to have ping to work with hostnames. The main goal behind this is to have my web server to work with hostnames instead of ip addresses
EDIT :
ping 192.168.123.248 works
