Ah, the easy way! ;^) Part of this was a learning exercise for me. Windows computers on the network are reachable by name automatically, even as DHCP clients. So I wanted to learn a little about what it takes to have "automatic" name resolution for Linux computers on a Windows network.
The answer appears to be that Linux computers must have a Samba client going for it to work that way. In this case, I did not care to go that path and complete my learning process. But, it did teach me something. Alan Shane Lofgren wrote: > Alan, > If this is to be a server then why not set a static IP address for the > machine?
