At first I did not want to agree with your proposals, but you seem to have a point! What I meant was that all normal services, even my NFS is working under Linux and under WINE ftp etc. is working. Concerning your suggestions: host khazad where khazad is the hostname, gives: [root@khazad fermier]# host khazad ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server Host khazad not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) So, I guess there is something broken that I never thought was broken! Any suggestions? I can of course configure the whole setup to work off fixed IP, but I am not sure whether this will really solve the problem.... There does not seem to be an equivalent under WINE, at least not any that I could find. I have already tried your other proposal earlier, before you suggested it. I tried the following two /etc/hosts files: 192.168.0.2 khazad.tele2.fr khazad localhost 192.168.0.4 falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar falahmizar 127.0.0.1 khazad.tele2.fr khazad localhost 192.168.0.4 falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar falahmizar where falahmizar is another Linux box serving as an NFS server and the DHCP always gives khazad the IP 192.168.0.2 (There are only the two PC's on the network.). Neither of these two seemed to provide a working solution. I presume the program under WINE is always getting the IP 127.0.0.1 and this is the IP that it finds unacceptable. I have not found a solution to my problem yet, but I notice other WINE users suffered from the same problem back in 2003 and even in 2002, but in these threads there was never a suggested solution. I was hoping that by now someone has found a solution...
