dns 2011 sbs
I have an issue with dns, basically I connect a win7 client up to a wireless network on a different range than the sbs server, the firewall is set to pass all between the two subnets both ways. I set my clients primary dns as the ip of the server. I can rdp to the server fine from the client, I can also smb by ip but I cannot resolve any hostnames on the sbs domain.
Do I need to change something on the sbs 2011 server for this ? is there some security in place to not resolve dns names if the client is on a different subnet?

no my machine is not part of the domain

ah excellent the suffix did the trick thanks, is this because I am not a member of the domain or because I am on a different subnet?

If it's not a member of the domain it won't automatically get the Primary DNS Suffix. Adding one manually will do as you say, allow it to assemble an FQDN.

You may need to add the domain suffix to the DNS setting in your Windows 7.
In TCP/IP properties, DNS tab, Append these suffixes box.
