Hi
I have two machines at home, they are linked via network cards. One has Win98 SE on it, the other has UNIX running on it.
I can ping both ways using the IP addresses
eg 192.1.168.42
(this is the Unix address)
or 192.1.168.43
(this is the Win98 address)
but if I try and ping using the hostname it just times out. I have added the following entry in the hosts.sam file.
192.1.168.42 unixbox
Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on ?
