when pinging comp name it says name.mshome.net - why?

[hifimono]

if im pinging a computer POSCOMP from one computer... it pings POSCOMP and is successful...

on my computer when i ping POSCOMP.. it pings POSCOMP.mshome.net and the request times out.

how do i change this?

it's a workgroup, ip's are dynamic, dns is our server 192.168.0.2, and i don't understand where mshome.net comes into play.

Are you using internet connection sharing?

no, everything goes to a switch, then router, then broadband modem

release
dns flush
renew
