I have a networking problem which is puzzling me. I am clearly missing
something. Several of my servers apps are failing because they are
unable to resolve any of the local hostnames. I have checked
/etc/hosts, /ete/resolv.conf and both are as they should be, yet I am
unable to ping any of my LAN connected PC's by name. I can ping them
by their IP addressess, but not by name.

What else should I look for?

My hosts file is:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1    bilbo.stow-jones.local localhost.localdomain    localhost
192.168.0.3    bilbo.stow-jones.local bilbo
192.168.0.2    gandalf.stow-jones.local    gandalf
192.168.0.4    frodo.stow-jones.local    frodo

When I ping to any of the PC's I get the following:-
[root@bilbo ~]# ping -c4 192.168.0.4
