Thanks again, Craig. ---- I think that your issue is that earlier in the 'manual/guide' it instructed you to set up BIND (a local dns server) and thus host names would resolve. You can skip that if you edit /etc/hosts and put each computer's hostname into each computer's /etc/hosts file - which does get to be a bit tedious after a point - thus, a local BIND setup makes sense. In other words, if you track through his guide and use Linux to set up and provide dhcp/bind/etc. then you would have a fully functioning network where host names resolve without having to do manual editing of things like /etc/hosts or lmhosts (windows equivalent).
