Host name not identified with the domain suffix in LAN
Hallo to everybody; i'm not skilled in LAN administration, so i really hope that someone can help me to solve my problem.

I have a LAN with Windows 2000 Server and a domain created with Active Directory. Clients are (the most) Win2000 Pro.
The computer's name and the network ID appears to be configured the same way on all the clients, but some computers are recognised (for example in db connections) as "COMPNAME.domain.ext", others are recognized as "COMPNAME" without any domain suffix.

If i check the system properties of my clients they apperars to be configured the same way:

Complete computer name: COMPNAME.domain.ext
Domain: domain.ext
(Properties) Computer name: COMPNAME

But if check my network with a specific tool (i used Look@LAN) i find that 1st group of clients (the ones correctly identified) show "COMPNAME.domain.ext" as "Primary name" and the 2nd group (the wrong identified) show "COMPNAME".

How do i change the "Primary name" of theese clients ?
I don'k know how it has been set and i cannot see any entry in the system properties dialogs of Windows for making a change.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this question belongs under windows or networking, but it sure has nothing to do with the domain name system (DNS). It's about windows configuration/networking.
