I am running RH8 on my laptop and desktop.
At work the laptop happily talks with the Novell network. At home it
shares files happily with the desktop via NFS. It loads dhcp client on
boot.
The desktop machine has the hostname and http ServerName Blackbox.home.
It is a dhcp server and its address is 192.168.1.1. The laptop can resolve
and ping 192.168.1.1 but not blackbox.home.
resolv.conf on the client contains these lines
search blackbox.home
nameserver 192.168.1.1
resolv.conf.bak on the client contains
search work.domain
nameserver 10.77.x.x
These files swap depending on the host server.
The hosts file on the client does not contain
192.168.1.1 blackbox.home
because Gnome and OpenOffice complained.
Blackbox's dhcpd.conf contains the option "host-name blackbox.home;"
help - all I want to do is use the CUPS printer at home!
