telnet problem using "."

Hi everyone

I need some help for an issue.
I have a network with HP Tru64 Unix servers and Windows servers (DNS resides on Windows)

Just in one of the 15 Unix servers, the commands "telnet ." , "ping ." don't work (please notice the point after the command).
The error says "Names does not resolve to supplied parameters; neither nodename or servername were passed".

Altough it works when I use as parameter either the IP address or the name server, the problem is when . is ussed.

Any idea???

Thanks very much
