I'm trying to switch my in-home network from static IP addresses to dynamic. But having consistency problems between Win98 and Linux (RH7.2) machines.
1) I'm using a Linksys cable/dsl router to assign IP addresses via DHCP. I took all machines out of the respective "hosts" files except for localhost and the 192.168.1.1 router/gateway. 2) My win98 machines are set to "obtain an IP address automatically" -- and they do 3) The win98 machines can find each other by name using ping. They also can via "network neighborhood" but I realize that this is via SMB 4) My win98 machines can not find my Linux webserver (in-home only) 5) Linux machines are also getting its IP address dynamically. In this case, using dhcpcd 5) My linux machines can not find my windows machines by name, either 6) My linux machines can ping ftp.cdrom.com and get successful responses. 7) I am not running Samba on the either Linux machine What am I doing wrong?
