And as I dig futher.... On Linux60, I specified that I had a "remote WINS Server at 205.235.227.52". On Linux61, I specified that I had a "remote WINS Server", but I didn't give it an ip address.
That seems to be the trigger on this problem. Now I'm waiting on the network guys to tell me the right configuration option. Either way, I need to have them add in the DNS names to the DNServer.

It is not listed in the DNS server. To test, I fired up a packet capture before I tried ping, so I could see how my host learned about the name: Source Destination Proto Info 192.168.37.13 205.235.227.50 DNS Standard query A linux60.stlouiscity.com 205.235.227.50 192.168.37.13 DNS Standard query response, No such name 192.168.37.13 205.235.227.52 NBNS Name query NB LINUX60<00> 205.235.227.52 192.168.37.13 NBNS Name query response NB 192.168.193.160 192.168.37.13 192.168.193.160 ICMP Echo (ping) request 192.168.193.160 192.168.37.13 ICMP Echo (ping) reply At some point, it must have registered itself within WINS, or WINS found out about it and made note." So, given that I didn't knowing try to use WINS (but I might have), and I didn't install or bring up the DNS server, which, per the doc, would have added the DNS entry, what might have caused this automagically process? Also, given that LINUX61 was created the same way, and a "ping linux61" still fails?
