What is the machine's DNS Search Suffix? Can you post an ipconfig /all of
the machine you are pinging from?
In IP properties, Advanced, DNS tab, is it set to append the search suffix?
If the machine you're trying to ping is in a different domain, under a
different zone, even if it;s a child zone, and you are in the parent zone,
it won't sufffix the child zone because it's not in the connection specific
suffix zone listed in your machine.
If pinging from a zone, such as the parent zone, you'll have to go into IP
properites, Advanced, DNS tab, click on "Append these DNS Suffix in order"
and type in (in order):
yourdomain.com
child.domain.com
And then when you ping a machine by single name in the vchild.domain.com it
will then append the suffix.
Make sense?

The ping -a <ip address> if you just want to ping by
ip
and get the name.
If you do "ping server", it should return the fqdn of the server in the
first line like so. If that is not working, please
show
us the output your
getting with ping.

Is there a way to control the name that you get back with
in a ping in DNS settings? For example when i ping
one
of
my servers i want to get back the name of the server and
the name of the domain it is in. Like computer1.time.com.
