I am trying to connect to a network resource from my 10.04.4 VM (VMware Fusion) but the destination is unreachable by name.

What is weird is that the name is visible in DNS:

>nslookup my.name
Server:     123.45.67.89
Address:    123.45.67.89#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   my.name
Address: 10.20.30.40

I can reach it (via ping) by the IP address (10.20.30.40) but not the name and I thought that was weird because the DNS clearly resolves the name. What can I do to enable access to this resource via the name?

I would try the basics first.

Do you have a name caching daemon installed. If so:

/etc/init.d/nscd restart

Next check if you have some iptables rule causing this.

iptables -F

That would flush your rules, and from there try again.
