I have 1 RB951UI with 2 DHCP server
-server 1: 192.168.10.0/24
-server 2: 172.16.10.0/24
2 clients received DHCP from difference server.
-ClientA: 192.168.10.2/24
-ClientB: 172.160.10.2/24
Client A&B can see each other. I want to share files between them using there “pc-name”.Is that possible ??? Because i can only using there ip if i want to share files between them. Using “pc-name” 's not working. Any ideas is helpful.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
Really @@!!!. But, my friend says he can share files using “pc-name” with config NAT on router and he don’t tell me how to do it lol =.=!!. That’s why i came here to ask hope someone will show me how
But that is not a router question, it is a question for the OS, probably Windows in your case.
Windows can have several ways of resolving names to addresses, depending on version, configuration, etc.
(DNS, WINS, broadcast, hostsfile)
what do you means it’s not router question ??? my friend he config it on router mikrotik using /ip firewall nat (i think he use something like “netmap” in Action tab in some of his rules =.=!!).
Could you teach how it works pls . I would appreciate it
No one on here is going to teach you how DNS works, that isnt what this forum is for. You need to go away and do your own research on how DNS works. There is plenty of information you can find on google.
There would be no possible simple/quick way for someone to teach you DNS via a forum post.
To share files using “pc-name” across a different subnet, you MUST use:
Hosts File, or
WINS, or
DNS
When windows can’t resolve a hostname via those 3 options, it then falls back to NetBios (which is what you’re trying to use) where it sends out a broadcast packet asking all nodes on the network if it’s name is “pc-name”.
Because it’s a broadcast packet, you cannot use NAT to resolve “pc-name” across 2 subnets.
Sory about that. I still new to network so i don’t know much about it.
btw, im not ignored your post. Because my friend say he can do it in on router only. That make me confused =.=!!!
