I am trying to set up a Suse 8.2 desktop box, (Bob, address 192.168.1.33) but am having trouble connecting to the Internet. I am not running a firewall on it.
I can ping an Internet address by IP address without problem. When I try to ping by hostname I receive the error message "unknown host."
I can ping other machines local to my network by both IP address and hostname without problem. One of the other machines in the network (Sam, address 192.168.1.2, RH 7.3) has no problems when pinging the Internet, either by IP address or hostname, and it can ping the Suse box without problem.
My Internet access is through a NAT gateway/firewall box with address 192.168.1.1 (Bill) on the internal net card, and whatever address assigned to tthe external card by my ISP using DHCP. From the firewall box, I can ping the Suse box, the RH box, and the Internet using both IP address and hostname, all without problems,
The configuration files for the Suse box are set up as follows:
/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 bill.mynet.net bill 192.168.1.2 sam.mynet.net sam 192.168.1.33 bob.mynet.net bob

Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?
