Name Resolve on Intranet

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Network setup:

eth0 connected to DSL, eth1 set to 192.168.100.1 and
configured with DHCPD

2 Windows computers (Win2k, WinXP).

The windows computers are seeing the network fine and
can see the linux machine. I can ping back and forth
with ip addresses, but only from windows to the linux
box with host name; not able to go from linux to
windows with host name.

The problem is that the computers (windows) cannot be
resolved to IPAddresses.

Example, my XP box is called "ok1". I ping ok1
this results in "ping: unknown host ok1"

What do I need to do to have linux resolve the windows
computer names to IPAddresses so I can use computer
names when on my linux box?

I am not running the DNS server, don't really want to
if I don't have to.
Thanks,
