I visited the win2k side again, to check my name list and so forth, and did CMD> ipconfig /all The primary name is lipperra-p1, and the connection specific one is rkv.ad.celera.com. I am not sure if that is reflected in my resolv.conf or my dhclient.conf. Finally, on the boot back to FreeBSD, I ran a ping from my desktop machine and watched the disappearance from DNS: cglwadministrator@LIPPERRA-W1 ~ $ ping lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com Pinging lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com [172.20.168.104] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 172.20.168.104: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128 Request timed out. Request timed out. Reply from 172.20.168.104: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64 Request timed out. cglwadministrator@LIPPERRA-W1 ~ $ ping lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com Bad IP address lipperra-p1.rkv.ad.celera.com. which may be of interest because it shows the DNS entry being persistent right up until just after FreeBSD's dhclient starts, and then the DNS entry disappears. -r >From: "David" >To: "Ross Lippert" , >Cc: >References: <200207181507.IAA24424@eskimo.com> >Subject: Re: MS Dynamic DNS problems >Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 08:11:59 -0700 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >X-Priority: 3 >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 >X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 > >----- Original Message ----- >> Thanks for the quick reply, Steve. >> >> I suspect that since they were about to modify my laptop's win2k install >> so that it started showing up in DNS, that there must be something doable >> on the client-side alone, if only I knew what that was. >> >> I have since rebooted to win2k to look at the configuration panel that was >> changed to get the fix.
