Hello, i have a strange DNS problem. If i use DHCP i'm not able to ping myself using the hostname (and hostname+domain). The strange thing is that i can't reproduce this on my 'real' system (with Fritzbox router) but in a VM (VMWare Player). Also some FreeNAS users have the same problem with 'real' hardware, too. I can ping the VM from the host system without problems using the VM hostname 'freenasl.local', so there is no problem with the internal VMWare DNS server.
Below i've listed everything i think it's necessary to find out what's wrong. Can anyone give me some hints or tipps? Maybe i'm totally blind.
