I have a single workgroup where Host A and Host B are on the same 192.168.0.x local home network.
There is also a Host C attached to Host B via a second adapter on Host B using APIPA.
Host A and Host B are connected to each other via two switches, both use DHCP via a common ip V4 default gateway 192.168.0.1. (Two floors in my house, Host A and Host B are on different floors, connected via a switch on each floor and of course ethernet cable connecting the two switches). Hosts A and B can easily ping each other of course.
Host B also has a Host C connected via a second adapter on Host B as link local 169.254.x.x. Host B can ping Host C using command ping HostC.local.
Host A cannot ping Host C using ping HostC.local as Host B can.
I've done this before (ping Host C from Host A) but can't recall how.
Any guidance? Thanks
