Hey Forum.
After beeing hosted by a Citrix for a while - we going back to in house hosting.,
I have a Mikrotik Router but having a problem with a static DNS

I must resolve this name : SIL-INS-SERV01
The full name is SIL-INS-SERV01.INSATECH.local - How do I add this as a static entry - since my new network is not INSATECH.local anymore.
Wen adding the name only and afterwards ping it - givin this answer

ping SIL-INS-SERV01
invalid value for argument address:
invalid value of mac-address, mac address required
invalid value for argument ipv6-address
while resolving ip-address: name does not exist

Is there any way to resolve this - so it'll only should be SIL-INS-SERV01 as name ( Many path are related to this path - talking about 70000path within several excel sheets etc )

Windows will automatically append current domain (or other domains from configured search list) if the query doesn't look like FQDN, i.e. if it's a name without a dot. So if your links are just for "SIL-INS-SERV01", add record SIL-INS-SERV01.whateveryourcomputersthinktheyhaveascurrentdomain.tld.

The error you posted looks like from RouterOS, but it should work there. Well, depends on what you added..
