Computer With 2 Names?!
Both CompA and CompB show their proper names when you look in My Computer, or if you check the registry key. However, when I ping the systems, something isn't right.
If I ping them by their names (ie: CompA.domain) the IP shows as it is supposed to.
If I ping (using ping -a) by IP, BOTH computers show the name of CompB!
If I ping CompA's IP, it should return CompA's name, not CompB's name.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help I get!! 8-)
