Hi Tony,
I upgraded to CVSNT 2.5.02, in case that helped. In fact, there are some
extremely annoying problems with this install, which I will send in another
message (along with my fix for one of them), not to mention that the problem
I have with the dns.suffix is still there. :)
At first, I thought like you did--that the machine does not know its name.
However, if this is the case, then it is out of my control (due to the
department's active directory implementation). I have put in a request to
them to investigate this matter, but have not heard back yet.
In fact, ping replies, as does a request for remote desktop when logged into
the console, and the machine is registered in the DNS so I can login to it
remotely from all over the world by its fully qualified dns name. In this
sense, it seems odd to me that this is a configuration problem of the
machine, since in any case the error should be *backward* (failure to lookup
'ransom' not 'ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu').
I enclose here the partial results of my ipconfig:
