Why will be the reason when I made ping to PC1 "Ping namePC1" (192.168.20.5) from another PC2 (192.168.20.6) it PC1 respond that does not find the IP address(192.168.44.33) that is from another network of PC1 "namePC1"; instead of respond from same network of PC1 and PC2 (192.168.20.5) (nothing in the host file)
PC1 = 192.168.20.5
PC2 = 192.168.20.6 and 192.168.44.33

thank on andvance for the help

Your DNS server has an incorrect entry, or the PC has a bad entry in the DNS cache.

Run "ipconfig /flushdns" on the machine doing the pinging and run "ipconfig /registerdns" on the other machine(s)

If you can ping by FQDN, then DNS is working.

If you cannot ping by NetBIOS (short name) resolution, it means that WINS is not working.
