Each computer should know from its /etc/hosts file how to translate
between name and IP number 192.168.1.1. For example, a line "192.168.1.1
mycomputer.junk.com mycomputer" says that "mycomputer.junk.com" and
"mycomputer" mean IP number "192.168.1.1". The first choice to resolve IP
vs name is /etc/hosts if files is first in the "hosts: ..." line of
/etc/nsswitch.conf. For example, "hosts: files nisplus nis dns" puts
files first and dns last. Is this the way you've set things up? If not,
try it.
