Is this home network or corporate?

Is gerver a Windows machine (and if so which Windows version) or a Samba
box?

Are you in charge of it?

If the answer to the last question is no, I would suggest using dig (or
possibly ping) but if this a workgroup based setup the machine/server
name could have absolutely no relationship to the IP based hostname.
Simplest thing is to try ....

ping gerver

and see what you have, or ask whoever is in charge of the machine.

If the answer is yes then go to the machine and check the current
network settings.
