[Samba] how do I resolve local machine names for a windows 2k network?
I am having problem resolving local machine names from the workstaions, but I
can resolve
them from the server e.g.
If I ping from the local server "mail.cf.com" I get..
PING mail.cf.com (10.0.0.1) from 10.0.0.100 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from mail.cf.com (10.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.274 ms
....
but if i ping from the workstation "mail.cf.com" I get..
Unknown host mail.cf.com
Am am not sure what to to next I have tried adding the local server to the route
"route del default gw 10.0.0.100" when I did that all my internet
access died and I still
could not ping by name the mail server.
If I do "netstat -nr" i get:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
213.177.164.84 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 40 0 0 eth0

0.0.0.0 213.177.164.85 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0
I have setup the the following files:
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.0.0.1 mail.cf.com mail
10.0.0.100 smb_server smb

order hosts, bind
multi on

nameserver 203.37.255.97

}
Does anyone know whats up, I have not had any success with finding solutions
here, if I am
not following protocal, not explaining my problem well, or i just being dumb
please inform
me so I can learn..
Kind Regards
Peter
