I am using DHCP on my home network. The DHCP server is my Linksys wireless router. I have XPPro (ethernet), XPHome (wireless ethernet) and Mandrake 9.0 (ethernet) on the boxes.
DHCP assigns addresses to all boxes. I can ping all boxes by ip addresses from all boxes. I can ping all boxes by name from the XP boxes. When I ping by name on Mandrake, I get "unknown host". I do not have any DNS servers running or any hosts files configured. Why does the Gates-ware figure out the names, but Linux does not? What other information can I provide to be helpful? -- Matthew
