man ping is the RTFM :) Try ping -s server_name

I'm really, really sorry if this is a "RTFM" situation, as I can't figure out where to look this up. In Linux, the name your give the computer shows up on the LAN. e.g. if I call my computer woofles, and I do "ping woofles" on any other computer in my LAN, it will give me woofles's IP address and ping it. Same thing happens in Windows. However, in Solaris, I can't figure out how to turn on the same capability. I think it has something to do with multicast/dns and/or avahi, but I'm not entirely sure what steps I need to take to make it happen. Any help is, as always, much appreciated.
