Hi All<br />
<br />
Strange problem in Windows 7 RC1<br />
<br />
In my domain I have a DNS record setup for a server I will call &quot;hostname&quot; and also one for subdomain.hostname.<br />
<br />
My dns suffix is set to domain.local.<br />
<br />
On XP I can ping subdomain.hostname and it will append domain.local to the end and it will work<br />
On 7 I can ping subdomain.hostname.domain.<wbr />local and it will work, but if I ping subdomain.hostname it does not work.<br />
<br />
DNS info is exactly the same for both XP and Win7<br />
<br />
Has anyone got any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
