DNS issue.

Hi,

We use linux as a DNS server for our local network. ( linuxnol.nollekens.be )
We can ping this machine on all our XP clients like this:
C:\>ping linuxnol

Until yesterday it was on our XP clients enough to type "ping ibm250" ( our 2de unix server, an AIX ).
But after a shutdown of this 2de server, we can not use "ping ibm250" anymore
we need to type "ping ibm250.nollekens.be"

Why don't we need to type this for the linuxnol?
And why can't we type ping ibm250 anymore and do we have to add the domain 'nollekens.be'?

Now we had to add on every XP client that it should add 'nollekens.be' to every dns lookup request. This was not needed before

mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname> DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to ping other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can ping either a hostname or a MAC address. If speci- fied, the hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discovery. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below. -f Fast mode, do not wait before sending next ping request. The next ping will be sent immediately when the last ping is received. This cannot be used with -c 0 -s Specify the amount of bytes to send in each ping packet, up to ~1400 bytes. -c Number of packets to send before exiting. A value of 0 means unlimited packets and the tool must be exited with Control + C. -h Show summary of options. -v Show version of program. SEE ALSO
