Domain Servers Names translation problem.

RouterOS Beginner Basics

I have a little problem with the DNS name translation.
I’m using version Mikrotik version 4.
Basically i have 2 local networks with the different IP’s. One is LAN 172.17.37.0 and another is Wi-fi network 172.1.1.0.
When i connected to LAN i can see all the server names and connect to the servers using the names but if i’m using Wireless then i can not hit the server by name only by Ip.

I have static DNS records setup under DNS(Winbox) but it still can not resolve the names from any PC connected through Wireless.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Are you talking about NetBIOS names? NetBIOS in client mode resolves names via broadcasts and doesn’t cross network boundaries. Use WINS or AD instead. Or implement names on the nameserver the clients actually use.

As a sidenote, 172.1.1.0 is a public IP address. The class B private space is from 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255.

Thank you very much for response. Both networks are local public network is separate. I have AD directory controller with the DNS server running and Mikrotik assign automatically this DNS server as the primary DNS server.

I will try to use your suggestion and i will report it as soon as i will check.

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your help.

I found my mistake i just forgot to indicate WINS server in the DHCP server configuration.
