For me... tixy@computer2:~$ ping computer1 PING computer1.home (192.168.2.11) 56(84) bytes of data. so the domain 'home' is getting automatically added. What does "cat /etc/resolv.conf" return? I have domain home search home nameserver 192.168.2.1 I believe the 'search' entry is what makes it work for me.
