I configure my home FreeBSD OS as server. I run FreeBSD under WinXP with VMWare Workstation 4. On my work, Web Programmers company, FreeSD is configured so (DNS under FreeBSD is configured for zone "office.net" with hosts host1 & host2), that from WinXP I can ping host1 and host2 without domain name: windows xp console: ping host1 -> ok ping host2 -> ok ping host1.office.net -> ok ping host2.office.net -> ok XP PC is user of workgroup, DNS-suffix is empty. Only DNS in LAN settings is entered. That's all. I have configured my home DNS under FreeBSD with office template. I have entered DNS, but at home I can ping only full host names (with domains): windows xp console: ping host1 -> no reply ping host2 -> no reply ping host1.office.net -> ok ping host2.office.net -> ok Why? I can't understand. I try to solve this problem 5 days, but nothing helps me. When I entered DNS suffix: office.net -> OK. But in my office that works without DNS-suffix.
