Different IP shows while ping with hostname

Hi,

When i try to ping using hostname. It shows me different IP of machine. Also i could not able to find it, where it is configured.

Example,

Machine 1 IP is 192.168.2.55 & hostname is ABCD001

Machine 2 IP is 192.168.2.79 & hostname is XYZ001

If i ping in Machine 1 of Machine 2 XYZ001 using cmd prompt, it shows me a different IP like
192.168.15.25. Not showing IP 192.168.2.79

How to find it? where it is configured. Actually, it was working for me past 1 month before. Now it is not working.

Could you please support to resolve the issue?

Thanks, Dinesh K

 

Cant find Computers on Network by Hostname but can via IP

Hello,

I have software that has and connects to a Host Computer for the Database. Now I would assume a recent Windows 10 Update could have screwed everything up, but I have had this weird issue before that sometimes resolves itself or swaps.

Basically, the Software is set to resolve finding the database via Hostname on "Client" PCs, but they now cant find the Host Computer. I ping with Hostname, it fails... I get the IP of the Host PC, ping it, its there. I goto the network folder, type \\Hostname,
it cannot access.

The only way to connect now is to change the registry to resolve via the IP, it now loads the software?

The issue with that, despite putting effort into keeping the IP the same, sometimes the Host somehow changes IP, so the Clients then fail, so I change back to Hostname, its fixed. So it is best to keep the Registry as resolving via Hostname.

OR, even though the IP is correct, it cannot resolve, the ping fails, but Hostname ping and changing the registry, WORKS!

Another strange thing is, its not all or nothing, some Client PC's can gain access via Hostname, but others won't and require IP.

This to me means its related to getting and accessing Hostnames on the Local PC and not the Network?

What could be causing this issue?

 

ping hostname

I cannot ping my Linux box from my windows 10 client (windows pro) by its host name. I can ping the ip address.

Everything works the way it should. I am just a little curious if it can be done. I apologize if this is not the right place to ask.

thank you
