Hi Roy and all, Are you trying to get the client machine to resolve all names for the other clients machines?
There appears to be some 'magic' regarding DNS which can be performed in the dns.conf file (vmware claims to support standard dhcp.conf options) see: http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/VMware_Server_2.0_DHCP_Configuration#Configuring_the_VMware_Server_DHCP_Server_on_Linux_Hosts http://linux.die.net/man/5/dhcpd.conf In this way there should be no need to tinker with the guest OS(es) as dhclient should handle it all automatically. Cheers, Simon. > I want to automate a name resolution for VMware systems users run with > host-only networking.
