Hi I used to have Mandrake 9.2 machines on the (windows) network and it was fine to ping the windows machines by their netbios names, something that I came to enjoy!
I do not know how the network is set up. I assume DNS is used to keep track of machines' names... The only thing I know is that Linux was able to use their names in ping, ssh and others (like the cups wizard!). I moved to Mandrake10Official, and I came to realize that the name resolution is not working anymore. I dont know what has been changed, and after looking closely to smb.conf, resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, winbind and trying to enable the machine as domain master, wins server, etc.. nothing seem to solve my problem. What I can do: use nmblookup machine name resolves the IP correctly What I cannot do: ssh machine_name, ping machine, etc... does not work anymore. Can somebody point me to some readings or, even better, a solution? Thanks., marc
