I am studing the new NetWare 5 update material and was working on the
DNS part when I tried to ping into my own domain.  Pinging out to the
internet was just what I expected (it worked fine), but when I ping
local names, I must include the domain part as well.

For example:
I want to ping ahost.company.com
Normally, if I was in company.com, I would ping just ahost.

But in order for it to work on my NetWare machine, I have to ping
ahost.company.com

By the way, I am using the DHCP services as well and have added the
domain name services to DHCP to send to my clients.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
