I have a DNS server setup on VM #1 that has CNAMEs and A Records. My VMs on Machine 2 are able to access shared files on Machine 1 but not via CNAME or A Record. My real Machine 2 can access everything including via CNAME and A Record. Any ideas why and what to do to fix it?

Output from ipconfig /all on Machine 2:

DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.26.83.114(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.26.83.254
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.26.83.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.26.83.1
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

Everything else is all setup right including dns and dhcp.

on machine2 what does ipconfig /all look like does it make sense? – tony roth Aug 31 '11 at 15:42
@extremecoder31313 - Please put additional information in your question, and format it so it can actually be read. Please also try looking comparing the ipconfig output from a working and broken machine, and also look up the A and CNAME records from the broken machine and a working one and see if they match. – voretaq7♦ Aug 31 '11 at 16:08
@voretaq7 sorry about formatting, just started using this website and didn't know how to do it. ipconfig /all enteries look very similar except for machine's specific IP. Looking up A and CNAME using nslookup also works both from real machines and VMs (broken). – xtremecoder31313 Aug 31 '11 at 16:33
@jscott thanks for fixing the formatting. – xtremecoder31313 Aug 31 '11 at 16:33
this is likely to be a DNS fork up, a routing problem or, possibly, a firewall problem. The information given makes it impossible to understand where the issue lies. Routing tables and firewall rules from each VM and "real machine" would be handy. A network topology could be helpful too. – goo Aug 31 '11 at 21:25
