Tnx Tim.. Funny because when I fired up the computers I could use name for resolving remote computer, but only for a while.
1) I pinged the computers itself by same machine (i.e. I pinged A from A): ping Fujiantonio PING Fujiantonio.homenet.telecomitalia.it (192.168.1.69) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from Fujiantonio.homenet.telecomitalia.it (192.168.1.69): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.135 ms and the remote computer ping pcdesktop1 PING pcdesktop1 (192.168.1.3) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from pcdesktop1 (192.168.1.3): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.041 ms but if I ping from laptop to pcdestop1 (or the reverse) I get: ping pcdesktop1 ping: unknown host pcdesktop1 ping Fujiantonio ping: unknown host Fujiantonio I will follow by dig output Tnx again 2015-10-23 2:53 GMT+02:00 Tim <ignored_mail...@yahoo.com.au>: > On Thu, 2015-10-22 at 18:35 +0200, Antonio M wrote: > > no, I don't think that is a problem of DNS, I am surfing fine. > > For Samba, and other internal networking, you need to be able to resolve > the names of the local machines. > > If you try to use the dig command with a machine hostname, do you get > it's IP?
