PgAdmin cannot locate my server

I'm assuming this is windows.
I ran into this when PGAdmin is fine with qualified DNS hostname, but the pg_pass file couldn't resolve and needed dotted quad.

The corporate-world structure of windows networking and permissions is a mystery to me...

Just use the dotted quad and move along! lol

From cmd:

nslookup < ple.mydomain.com >

pg_pass.conf
<IP.IP.IP.IP>:<port>:<db>:<User>:<PASSWORD>

Subject: [EXTERNAL] PgAdmin cannot locate my server

I’ve got something really weird going on. My laptop can easily find my PLE production (production like environment) using a normal nslookup, but PgAdmin emits an error saying could not translate host name “ple.mydomain.com” host to address: Unknown host

So where is PgAdmin looking regarding DNS entries? I would think that if the laptop can find it, that any app running on it should be able to do so.
