-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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 PING 192.168.0.4 (192.168.0.4) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.190 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.182 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.184 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=0.192 ms - --- 192.168.0.4 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3014ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.182/0.187/0.192/0.004 ms, pipe 2 [root@bilbo ~]# ping -c4 frodo ping: unknown host frodo [root@bilbo ~]# - -- Chris Jones "If John Madden steps outside on February 2, looks down, and doesn't see his feet, we'll have 6 more weeks of Pro football." - -- Chuck Newcombe It's currently a problem of access to gigabits through punybaud. - -- J.
