Bill, What do you have in /etc/hosts? Each machine on the LAN should have the same contents. The format usually is IP address, white space, full name (e.g., hotspur.gisnet.local), white space, alias (e.g. hotspur). On Slackware (and, if I recall correctly, in Red Hat), the network configuration has separate key/value pairs for hostname, network name, host IP, gateway IP, and DNS IP.
