I have a veru bizare issue.

When trying to connect via RDP to a remote laptop which has been taken off the network for a few days. When connected again to the network, i cannot RDP into it using DNS name but can using IP. OS is windoes 7 Enterprise x64 using AD.

Taking it off the domain and adding it again does not help.

Any suggestions?

Can you ping the DNS name via the command prompt? Sounds like rejoining the network may have assigned a different IP to the alias.

To rule out firewall issues you could also disable firewalls on both temporarily and try again - though I doubt a firewall is the problem because you're able to access it via the IP address.

  • Yes i can ping it by its DNS name and i have already tried all possible routes including disabling firewall. – Fwafa Nov 29 '12 at 17:55

DNS was the issue. It was not releasing the associated IP. Had to purge all old data and schedule auto periodic purge.
