Dell OptiPlex 390 MT can't be pinged via hostname

Open jdrch opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Dell OptiPlex 390 MT responds to IP address pings from remote clients and local hostname pings, but not remote hostname pings on the same LAN.

○ → hostname
DellOptiPlex390MT

Pinging the machine from itself:

○ → ping DellOptiPlex390MT
DellOptiPlex390MT is alive

Pinging the machine from a remote client on the LAN, using the IP address:

○ → ping 192.168.0.71
