Re: can not ping hostnames of other subnet

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Anytime you are trying to ping by hostname, the name needs to be resolved to
an IP. You need to verify this name resolution is working ( DNS, WINS ) If
this is a simple environment, and you want to just prove concept, you can
edit the %Windir%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file and add the machines'
names and IP addresses to the file ( Note you need to only do this on the
machines that you want to resolve the names on ). Otherwise, verify your
DNS \WINS settings. Can you reach the DNS \ WINS server? Are you getting
answers back from the DNS \ WINS server with the appropriate information?
