Open /etc/resolv.conf as root with your favorite editor and you can also have a look in /etc/hosts so everything is the same on all three boxes
/etc/resolv.conf was different - change them all to match what our router has and all is well!
But more questions. We have a router with dsl modem here. I use dhcp for windows clients. I gave each linux machine a static ip so I can do remote admin. Is there a way to get the ip address of nameservers from the router, like what would happen with dhcp, but still have static addresses for the linux machines?
