Hi,
I have clients in my local network with static IPs but I cannot ping them with its FQDN. How can I enter the static address of my client to the RB in order to resolve the DNS name?
I tried to enter the name under DNS->static with its IP, but it doesnßt work. Has anyone an idea what I have to do in addition?

What RouterOS are you using? It should work fine with no problems…
/ip dns static
add address=8.8.8.8 name=mikrotik.forum.internet
[me@Mikrotik] > ping mikrotik.forum.internet
SEQ HOST SIZE TTL TIME STATUS
0 8.8.8.8 56 59 18ms
1 8.8.8.8 56 59 17ms
2 8.8.8.8 56 59 17ms
sent=3 received=3 packet-loss=0% min-rtt=17ms avg-rtt=17ms max-rtt=18ms
Hi,
I am using 6.42.3.
I wanted to resolve internal clients, not external addresses.
e.g.
client static IP: 192.168.1.7
client name: officePC
If I ping officePC I will get now answer.
/ip dns static
add address=192.168.1.7 name=officePC
This does not work for me
BTW: Clients with DHCP are resolved correctly

Extremely odd. The router should be able to resolve fine, I wondered if it was because the domain name was not something.something but even as one lower case term routeros should resolve it.
Cannot think why it would not lookup from itself first. Maybe reboot?
Hi Steveocee,
thanks a lot, the reboot was the solution!
How do we say in German: “Reboot tut gut!”
