Have you got a special name resolve order set?
Is your /etc/nswitch.conf file set to 'file dns' ?
and what does smbclient -L <hostname> say.

That was it, fixed that now I can ping using 192.168.0.x for any machine, but
using a name that is in hosts file does not. The printers are on a network file
server from netgear, PS1110 and a M$win2k server lp1 port. My wife machine has
samba 3 and smbclient can not connect and cups can not find any remote, no
ability to see remote machines. I guess I will figure out all of this in time.
DEP your right that if no print she will not be totally happy.
Good news here - last weekend we had our 1st Sat computer sale. I bought 2 scsi HP6100c scanners for $5.00 total. I have one on wife's machine and suse setit up and scanned. money's worth on that deal already, sometimes you fall into crap and still smell like a rose<g>. I thought gimp had a scnner ability, only thing that have found is a camera selection now. What is there for scanner software?
cheers

You are an excellent tactician, Captain. You let your second in
command attack while you sit and watch for weakness.
