I"m having problems with my linux box resolving hostnames correctly. I go to ping the computer names on my LAN, and it can't find the computer. Nor can my windows computers find the linux box via hostname.

First of all I check the resolv.conf and it all checks out. What other file would it be?

I run LinNeighborhood and it pulls the names fine, I'm guessing because it grabs them through SMB.

Has this something to do with WINS? Though WINS isnt enabled anywhere.

Any help or links would be appreciated.

thanks
