Computer is not assigned a primary DNS suffix on Xfinity home wifi network
Hello,
I am trying to setup remote access to my desktop, but despite troubleshooting I am unable to find my computer's FQDN.
My machine runs Windows 11, and when I run >ipconfig /all, my output is the following:
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : <name>
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : hsd1.ms.comcast.net
When I then attempt to run 'ssh <user>@<name>.hsd1.ms.comcast.net' on my laptop, I am given a 'no such host is known' error code.
I have successfully ssh'd to and from this computer before under different circumstances, so I am confident that the proper SSH software is running. Additionally, I am able to 'remote desktop' (using the built-in Windows software) to this machine with no issues.
Additionally, upon running 'whoami /fqdn', I get the following error:
ERROR: Unable to get Fully Qualified Distinguished Name (FQDN) as the current logged-on user is not a domain user.
I am no expert, so I could be wrong in blaming this on my WiFi. However, I believe this has something to do with my DNS not assigning my computer a FQDN and I wanted to float this question to some xfinity experts here.
Thank you.
