Thanks again Rein for your suggestions > You must fix it if your program is trying to do exactly the same thing. > > I already suggested, either: > 1. the /etc/hosts file solution, see also below; > 2. set up a DNS server, and make it so that the DHCP server passes the > assigned IP addresses to it. Concerning 1. I told you that I already tried this before you suggested it. I have: [root@khazad fermier]# ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2F:52:CB:4F inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:2fff:fe52:cb4f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:23225 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:19703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:24251252 (23.1 Mb) TX bytes:2420057 (2.3 Mb) Interrupt:17 Memory:cdefc000-0 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2086 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2086 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:137516 (134.2 Kb) TX bytes:137516 (134.2 Kb) [root@khazad fermier]# vi /etc/hosts [root@khazad fermier]# host khazad ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server Host khazad not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [root@khazad fermier]# hostname khazad.tele2.fr [root@khazad fermier]# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.2 khazad.tele2.fr khazad 192.168.0.3 falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar falahmizar This give no solution. Concerning the DNS option, it does not seem to me that I can configure my cheap router to host a DNS service. It offers a DDNS service, but it asks for a hostname and I think this means some other server is actually the DDNS host. Do you mean I should configure one of the Linux PC's as a DNS? > I expect wine is doing the equivalent of "host khazad" command.

Right this gives a lot of output, so much so that I had to forward it to a file in order to get it all. it is more than the buffer space of one console: trace:reg:NtOpenKey (0x38,L"SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\VxD\\MSTCP",20019,0x406bfcb8) trace:reg:NtOpenKey <- 0x54 trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"EnableDNS",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcb0,0x406bfcb4=4) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"EnableDNS",2,0x406bfb74,16) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"BcastNameQueryCount",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcb0,0x406bfcb4=4) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"BcastNameQueryCount",2,0x406bfb74,16) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"BcastNameQueryTimeout",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcb0,0x406bfcb4=4) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"BcastNameQueryTimeout",2,0x406bfb74,16) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"NameSrvQueryCount",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcb0,0x406bfcb4=4) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"NameSrvQueryCount",2,0x406bfb74,16) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"NameSrvQueryTimeout",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcb0,0x406bfcb4=4) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"NameSrvQueryTimeout",2,0x406bfb74,16) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"ScopeID",(nil),(nil),0x40965721,0x406bfcb4=127) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"ScopeID",2,0x406bfb74,139) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExW (0x54,L"CacheTimeout",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcb0,0x406bfcb4=127) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"CacheTimeout",2,0x406bfb74,139) trace:reg:NtOpenKey (0x38,L"Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config\\Network",20019,0x406bfcb8) trace:reg:NtOpenKey <- 0x54 trace:reg:RegQueryValueExA (0x54,"WinsServer",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcbc,0x406bfcac=16) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"WinsServer",2,0x406bfb74,256) trace:reg:RegQueryValueExA (0x54,"BackupWinsServer",(nil),(nil),0x406bfcbc,0x406bfcac=16) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x54,L"BackupWinsServer",2,0x406bfb74,256) trace:reg:GetSystemInfo si=0x0x406bfd14 trace:reg:NtOpenKey ((nil),L"Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config\\AppDefaults\\NCentral.exe\\DllOverrides",f003f,0x406bfa44) trace:reg:NtOpenKey <- (nil) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x14,L"MFC42LOC",2,0x406bfa20,80) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x14,L"*MFC42LOC",2,0x406bfa20,80) trace:reg:NtQueryValueKey (0x14,L"*",2,0x406bfa20,80) The bits about enabling a DNS and the Winserver seem interesting, but I cannot tell whether this succeeded or not. > I think that the solution then was the same as now, fix the networking > under Linux.

This seems to me to be THE best solution of all. Thanks again. fermier -- DSL Komplett von GMX +++ Supergünstig und stressfrei einsteigen!
