Hi,

we started last week with our new Isilon and found that currently it is not possible to use short host names for accessing the SMB shares because our Windows 2008 R2 DNS server is not able to work with Isilon in a way to resolve the short host name pool1.isilon1 . If we use FQDN pool1.isilon1.subdomain.domain.de for the host everything is working fine.

We tracked that the problem only shows up with Win7/Win8 clients. With WinXP the problem does not exist.

A colleague found the cause in the Isilon answering with IPv6 DNS names but our Windows Server does not speak IPv6.

Therefore we'd like to disable IPv6 on the Isilon. Is that possible?

Regards,

daniel
