- Computer name resolves to wrong IP
- Posted by Ernest on January 11th, 2008
I have three Ethernet adapters that show up in "ipconfig /all". One is
connected to my router/ISP (DHCP enabled), one is a "Microsoft TV/Video
Connection" (DHCP enabled), and one is a VPN (DHCP disabled).
Doing "ping foo" (where "foo" is my computer name) shows that it is
resolving "foo" to the wrong adapter/IP (the TV/Video Connection one, which
I think is my Dazzle device, at IP 0.1.0.4).
How does Windows XP choose which adapter is associated with the computer
name, and how do I set which one it *should* resolve to?
Regards,
Ernest
