I need assistance in a reverse lookup issue. I have a server say XYZ.ABC.COM
having an IP 10.20.30.40
. If I ping the server, it is resolving to the correct IP.
On reverse ping (i.e ping -a 10.20.30.40
), it resolves to the domain name and not the server name
C:\bin>ping -a 10.20.30.40
Pinging ABC [10.20.30.40] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.20.30.40: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=57
Reply from 10.20.30.40: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=57
Reply from 10.20.30.40: bytes=32 time=6ms TTL=57
Reply from 10.20.30.40: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=57
On NBTSTAT -a 10.20.30.40, below are the results
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
ABC <00> GROUP Registered
XYZ <00> UNIQUE Registered
XYZ <20> UNIQUE Registered
MAC Address = 00-15-5D-A6-88-05
As far as I know the Nbtstat -a 10.20.30.40
should be as below
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
XYZ <00> UNIQUE Registered
ABC <00> GROUP Registered
XYZ <20> UNIQUE Registered
MAC Address = 00-15-5D-A6-88-05
Kindly help me in fixing this issue and want to resolve the correct server name XYZ on reverse ping
