Hello ...
$ping prova
from prova itself and if succeeded, from other host.
doest it work ?
If it does not work,
You have to go to network configuration,
K/system/network configuration
You need root password !!
Tabbed --> Hosts
add IP NAME ALIASES
You should add this in prova and also from other hosts.
check with ping again.
Does this work (try again).
nmblookup -B localhost '*'
nmblookup -B [your_ip_addr] '*'
nmblookup -B prova '*' .. do this from prova itself
nmblookup -B prova '*' .. but do this from other host.
Hope that will solve the problem.
regards
