I think it was a NetBIOS cockup on our network that is now sorted fine. Cheers for all the help though people... :) On Friday 12 October 2001 5:38 am, Mark Halegua wrote:
Tom,
Did you set up DNS and add your local machine names to the DNS server?

Hi,
I've just installed a SuSE 7.0 box onto our work nt network. All the machines on the network us dhcp to get their ip info and all works fine for them. With the linux machine it gets it's ip and nameserver, so all the external www works fine. In fact the whole network connection works, all but one thing. If I try to ping a local machine by it's hostname then it cannot be found. But if I try using their IP it all works ok. Anyone know what I've missed?
Cheers, Tom
