I have 3 computers on my home network. The Windows machines are connected to each other using ICS. I can ping one Windows machine from another Windows machine simply by naming the destination:
ping windowsB from machine windowsA will elicit a response. I can also ping my Linux machine from a Windows machine by name: ping linuxA from machine windowsA will elicit a response. However, I cannot ping one of the Windows machines by name from the Linux machine, only by IP number. I get the message 'unknown host windowsA.' I am using DHCP to assign IP numbers on the network, so it is important that I be able to reach machines by name as the IP numbers change. I'm not even sure where to start looking to resolve this problem, so any guidance would be appreciated. -- Jeffrey Barish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
