Alright guys I hate to bring this up again so soon but I have some more questions and issues I would greatly appreciate help with. This is what my /etc/sysconfig/network file says: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=thalia.lan.home my /etc/hosts file contains the following: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.3 thalia.lan.home thalia localhost 192.168.0.2 izanseth.lan.home izanseth But I am still unable to use my linux pc name from my Windows box to communicate to my linux box. My router still doesn't even recognise my hostname from my linux box either... I have sent them an e-amil to see if they can help.
