That shouldn't work. A name without a domain isn't valid. You need to
set things up so there's a domain (and don't use .local!). You can have
a default domain, so that bare names will automatically be tried with
the default domain.

Sorry. It works. I do not have a domain name because this is my personal, home network. Never got a domain name to it, in fact my connection to the internet is not a static IP, it is whatever the box my ISP gave me assigns to my router. Is there any suitable name one can use as "domain" for local networks that do not clash with already defined names (like there is for IPs, 192.168.x.x is supposed not to be a public IP). Once I looked it up and did not arrive to a satisfactory answer, got a lot of contradictory info from google.
