DNS lookup bypass HOSTS file
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
Users' PCs are on company's internal network. A user has an issue to access
an internal website because of no entry in the DNS server. So I copied a
HOSTS file from another PC over. The HOSTS file has the entry:
xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx servername.domainname.com
when pinging servername.domainname.com on this PC, I got the reply rightaway:
Ping request could not find host servername.domainname.com. Please check the
name and try again.
When pinging servername.domainname.com on other PCs, I got the name resolved:
Pinging servername.domainname.com[xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx] with 32 bytes of data:
Any suggestions? Thanks.
