well we are on NT 4 domain. We use WINS servers for internal resolution and external DNS servers for external addresses. I thought. plus. if i ping the name from my workstation with is win2000pro, it works just fine. _________________________________ Michael Boggan Network Engineer/Citrix Admin Virtual Desktop Inc.

If you are using internal DNS servers change your entries on your DNS servers for your Citrix servers to show the internal IPs. If you are using external DNS servers, well, use internal DNS servers and let them resolve external names....

I have been having lots of problems with published apps since we started using them. IE. they would NOT work. AFter many long ours on the phone with citrix support we determined that it is my network. Our servers are named xp1, xp2, xp3 etc. We use internal 10.10.1.x addressing for ip network and use pix firewall to map external ips to internal ips. Now for the fun part. When we ping 10.10.1.101 for xp1 it is fine. but if we ping xp1, it returns the dns name of xp1.vdesktop.org and the external public address which will not work inside and causes servers not to see each other. Has anyone seen this and know why it is doing it. my brain is fried and I can't figure it out. HELP.
