Can you do a ping mbfrodo? If it sais unknown host, then you should either run a name server on your local network (if it is big enough) and have it keep track of all internal hostnames, or, if your network is only a few computers, and they have fixed ip's, edit your /etc/hosts file and add the following line iptofrodo fulladdressoffrodo mbrfodo An example, in our network, all computernames are name.vlaamse-kern.com then to reach our giga server, by just typing giga, we have the following in hosts 192.168.0.20 giga.vlaamse-kern.com giga HTH Andy
ping is ok to the 3 boxes
