title: PC is not accessible using Hostname but IP
body: <p>The other day I was trying to RDC from my work laptop to work desktop using my PC's hostname but it could find the desktop. Later on I tried with my desktop's IP which worked. Both the time I was on premise and was connected to the network physically.
  I could RDC every other computer in our network.</p>
  
  <p>After my research, I checked firewall was disabled, flushed and re-registered dns etc. Everything seems to be in order. However, when I tried to do reverse DNS lookup it didnt work for my desktop.</p>
  
  <p>After that my IT guy and I checked everything on the AD server and there was no entry for my hostname or the IP. So we manually added the dns record which didnt work either.</p>
  
  <p>Following is the note from IT:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>AD / DHCP on a server on a different subnet DNS on another server on
    the above subnet</p>
    
    <p>The Pc is on a VLAN again different subnet.  The Cisco Switch controls
    the VLAN but talks to DHCP server for scope</p>
    
    <p>Even adding the A host on forward lookup manually can’t resolve using
    hostname for ping / mstsc. Both work for IP so deff DNS issue.</p>
    
    <p>Tried to ipconfig /release and renew after giving a different PC the
    IP address that was originally assigned to this one thinking it would
    force DNS to update. </p>
    
    <p>There is no entry for the IP or the Hostname in DNS even when the IP
    changed after a renew. The firewall on the PC is off. However there is
    the entry in the DHCP address lease table. </p>
    
    <p>Tried flushDNS and ReregisterDNS.</p>

  <p>If anyone could point me to the right direction here I would be grateful. Also, if you need further information please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
