I have a raspberry pi running a server. I connect to it by typing the IP address in a Chrome browser on mobile devices, Windows or a Mac. I can also type the pi's hostname "dimlights/" to access it, except on the Windows 10 PC running Chrome. On that PC I can only reach the pi via its IP address.
I am using Chrome on all 4 devices:
iPhone Chrome works with IP or "dimlights/"
Android Chrome works with both
Mac running High Sierra and Chrome works with both
Windows 10 system with Chrome only works with the IP address. With the hostname dimlights/ it gets the error:
"This site can’t be reached
dimlights’s server IP address could not be found.
Why does this only happen on the Win 10 system?

- Did you mean http://dimlights.com/?
- Search Google for dim lights
