Ping problem javascript:smilie(':mad:')

Hello All,

I have set up my RH 8.0 server as DHCP client. When I ping my RH server from my windows workgroup with ip address, works fine. All the network connects works just fine and they even share my internet connection.

But when I ping it wih hostname.domain name, it fails.

ex. DOS> ping localhostname.localdomainname

fails.

Any Help will be appreciated,

thanks.

S.

Hi Linux_ss,
Have you got a Local DNS Server?
Where do your Windows machines ger their Domain name information from?
