ok...so now I am confused.



Let me preface this with a disclaimer that I've been working on systems a long time in enterprise environments and this problem has stumped me for about 8 hours.



While trying to get the console to load on the server I have been verifying DNS, TCP connectivity, etc on the server. While testing from my laptop using the IP and FQDN I was suddenly able to get the console to load...!!!?



Go back to the server and try the link in the startup menu...no dice. I reverify that the servername.domainname.local = IPv4 address on the server (IPv6 is disabled but wanted to make sure)



For the hell of it, I use the IP in the URL and it works on the server. I then try the Netbios name...and it works...



The POS can resolve the FQDN on the server but cannot load the page unless I change to netbios name or IP...

From anywhere else I can use the FQDN to load the page.



What the hell...
