adding computer names to dns

by peejeno . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

hi. i have a question.

ok, so i just bought a vps server that i want to use as a dns server for all my networks.
its running windows server 2003. i have set it up, and have dns forwards setup to OpenDNS. all that works.

but im trying to add computer names to the zones.

i want to map 192.168.1.2 to “BlueServer” so users at a differnt branch office can have mapped drives with the name rather than the ip. branch offices connect via a VPN per computer. but what happens if i try to access “BlueServer” it makes me put a “.” after it. (BlueServer.) then it works. the only thing i can find is FQDN. am i doing something wrong?
