Problem in browsing local http sites

java-student · 12-05-2006, 01:29 PM

Hi,

My problem is with accessing local http sites (LAN). I can access them using the IP address like

Code:

http :// 10.1.1.1

but I can't use the name like

Code:

http :// computer

In windows system, it works fine. but it doesn't with linux OpenSuse 10.1

This is the content of the file /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   2799
#
### END INFO



nameserver 10.1*0.1.*
nameserver 10.1*0.3.*

it has the same DNS server as Windows ipconfig /all

regards,

Add the addresses for the computers on your local network to /etc/hosts

10.1.1.1 computer
10.1.1.2 another-computer

Is there another way to make it automatically instead of adding each IP-Name to the hosts file ?
