As i said vibhu the problem could lie in the fact that you may not
have specified a nameserver for resolving the hostname. so a
certain domain to which you server is already connected can act
as a nameserver resolving a certain number of machines and not
resolving others. Please correct me if I am wrong I could be going
wrong on fundamentals here.

| hi Arun,
| I want to keep this as a last resort. The problem is even more compunded
by
| the face that I can ping a few machines and not others. I am trying to
find
| out whether there is some package that has not been installed.
