RutePoint,

Thanks.  I've compared these two sets of files.  The if-cfg files are 
essentially identical.  The only difference (beyond our specific IP 
addresses) is that I have the additional line PREFIXLEN='' , which I 
don't think represents a serious difference.

In the options stanza of my named.conf file, I've changed my notify 
no; to yes; and I've added transfer-source * port 53; and 
allow-transfer {mynet;}; .  You're using a number of other options 
that I don't think are applicable to my case (I could be wrong, and 
I'm open to suggestion).  Our zone stanzas are, I think, the same, 
barring differences driven by our different networks (i.e., primarily 
the specific IP addresses used).  However, having made those changes, 
I still cannot ping sserver (per the /etc/hosts file, the .1.2 NIC 
name) from either Windows device; although the laptop as SUSE can 
ping sserver.  And so, of course sserver does not show up in either 
Windows device's Network Window.

You can search the archives for Dec 05 for James Knott and Michael W 
Cocke, subject "SUSE 9.3 Pro and 3 NICs" for a thread that winds up 
expanding on this question.

It is pointing at the router/switch.

It's there, and it does that.  It also has the loopback as a 
nameserver, but no local IP addresses--i.e., nothing from 
192.168.  Should it also have .1.2, .2.2, and .3.1 (the three NICs) listed?

Thanks for you help.  My Colts, after having abjectly quit early last 
week, finally won a game, barely squeaking by Arizona....
