My sad tale continues !
Having managed, thanks to your help, to configure eth0, i find I can
ping the Windoze boxes on my net with
ping 192.168.0.X
but that trying ping boxname gives me nothing;
I have checked that my /etc/hosts file has a line
192.168.0.2 boxname 0 #0
What else could / should I look for that is missing ?
TIA,
Ron the Newbie, on the sunny banks of the Paraguay River.
