I agree. But here is the problem. Because my NT servers are resolving xp1 as xp1.vdesktop.org, etc. for all my servers, then my published apps and cmc does not work. When the data collector, xp1 is queried about what server a published app runs on. it returns the external address and that can't be hit from inside. It needs to return the internal address. This is very bad. _________________________________ Michael Boggan Network Engineer/Citrix Admin Virtual Desktop Inc.

If so, when you ping it does a dns lookup for the server at xp1.vdesktop.org. Now if you were to do net use z: \\vp1\C$ and then do a NBTSTAT -c it should show xp1 at 10.10.1.101, which is the internal ip address. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Boggan Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 6:29 PM To: THIN (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] OT: Networking question Ok here is one for all you IP gurus out there. 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.
