Maybe someone else can understand what's going on, but as far as I'm
concerned, your message is ambiguous. For example, you haven't made it
clear who's doing the pinging and who is being pinged. Are WXP and W98 on
the same computer as Shrike or are they on an internal network?
X-Windows is a windowing system, not a computer. When you said "X-Windows
complains about invalid hostname" did you mean "Windows XP complains about
invalid hostname" when given some command?
Although you didn't say so, I assume "Can ping WWW by IP and hostname"
means your Shrike system can ping computers on the external internet by
hostname, in which case your provider's DNS is working, but doesn't
necessarily provide the association between your computer's name and your
computer's IP.
