[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1633298, member: 182015"] Those should all be the same. For ssh and ping and other DNS access, it depends on your DNS server. Do you have one on your local network, for instance? I don't have one on mine, so I can't use the machine's hostname to access it. I have to use IP address. Maybe you need to explain the circumstances better? [/QUOTE]
