Hi people,
On my FC4 box, when I type ping 192.168.0.1 I get the IP and then the
same IP again in brackets after it, whereas if I ping a computer name
I just get "Unknown host" all the time.
Is there any setting where I can have the name resolved to the IP and
visa verser please?
Simplest solution is to add entries for the machines you want to connect
to in /etc/hosts
Never do this where DHCP is involved.
