You can test by:
$ dig linux-5 If this is indeed the case, you would have a similar problem with any operating system. You can fix the solution by putting an entry into your /etc/hosts file on you client machine. Another fix would be to run a local DNS server to serve IP addresses of your computers to each other on your LAN. For a small network with static IPs, using the hosts file is the easiest.
