Hi.
I am using DHCP behind a Linksys router to obtain local IP addresses and
have discovered that even though I can assign a name to my RH6.2 Intel
machine somehow the system is not realizing its name. I confirmed this by
determining the IP address using 'pump -i eth0 --status' and then putting
this IP address in the /etc/hosts file. However, this seems to defeat some
of the benefits of using DHCP since you potentially have to do it every
re-boot. I must be missing something simple. Samba won't work unless the
system can resolve its name and it works with this kluge. However, even
with this kluge I don't get any response from ping using the hostname even
though it works fine with the explicit IP address. Whazzup?
cheers.
