Issue related to reaching 11i v1 inside the intranet

[Alessandro Mazzini]

Hello,

so, I'm having a probably stupid problem.

The hpux machine has an internal ip of 192.168.1.130 , and a name : hpc8000

if I ping or connect to it from another pc here, using the IP, I've absolutely no issues

if I ping (or etc) using the name    hpc8000   , the issue starts

Ping shows   192.168.1.130 [67.xxx.xxx.xxx] hpc8000

where the [] is the ip that my adsl router shows on the internet side. If I try to add agents that pretend the hostname of the server on the pcs, they go to the internet side ip and are unable to establish a connection (they see the full qualified name as   hpc8000.mynetworkprovider.homenetwork.it)

If I add an alias to 192.168.1.130, using sam , that alias is pinged - resolved as 67.xxx.xxx.xxx directly (not even traces of the internal ip).

Any idea what's configured wrong ?

No need anymore, can be closed... found out the issue and fixed it (maybe not using the best method, but ...)
