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, __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
