I have a strange problem when pinging a few machines on various iterations of opensuse / ubuntu. I wanted to ping a computer on my lan e.g. ping paul-pc which returned: ping: paul-pc: Name or service not known so I then ran: nslookup paul-pc which returned the correct IP of paul-pc I am also unable to ssh to the hostname but I can using the IP. any idea why? I am confused because I can ping and ssh other devices on the same network without issue. the computer I am ping-ing from is a static IPv4 address here is it's config file /etc/network/interfaces # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto enp0s3 iface enp0s3 inet static address 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 network 192.168.0.0 #secondary DNS disabled for troubleshooting dns-nameservers 192.168.0.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
