nothing garanties that ! Normally this is the case, but... > I would hate to see you use Samba just for some sort of name > resolution just for 4 machines.

Ok, you suggest two way of giving the same IP to the two network interfaces of the laptop. Can't we give the different IP but the same hostname ? (Jack: if yes, how ?) I also heard of "avahi", "zeroconf" ans "bonjour" as system useful to discover services in a network. I'm not sure about what this means, but this is used by linux and mac. Maybe this is the solution ? ? (Jack: if yes, how ?)
