Please take this with the humor it's intended... But you know Linux is

Congratulations, you got it in one! After reading this, I did a ps and found these
running:

Mandrake's behaviour is correct as far as I can see. It has no way to
resolve hostnames (hosts file, nis, dns, ...).
As far as winDOS is concerned, I cannot answer exactly why it does work

use NetBUI or winbind.

Aha. Now that explains why XP boxes can resolve XP names w/o a DNS server solved.
Now, let's move onto part two. How does the XP box resolve the Linux box name, which
is 'moplx':
