Name resolution lost with new SME 5 install
« on: October 18, 2001, 05:17:31 PM »
I have reinstalled smev5 fresh.  complete reinstall not an update and have installed the latest blade v2.

since the reinstall I have no name resolution on the local network.

I was able to type www.hammat.org and get my server
now I get an error
I get the server if I typr the ip of the server 192.168.1.1  no problems.

Any clues??

Oops,

Solved this one myself.

All I needed to do was add the ip of my server in the DNS search list on my windows client boxes.
This fixed the local name resolution.

Why it worked without this entry before is beyond me.  But it works now thats good enough for me.
