Hi Guys, Thanks to everyone for their reply. Windows has a similar option as the unix /etc/resolv.conf (search chamkila.org) under the DNS option of the tcp/ip settings for the nic.. I set the "Append these DNS suffixxes (in order):" option to my domain name and everything is working as expected.. Again, thanks to everyone for their quick response.
