/etc/hosts:
192.168.0.3          luc.thuis.com   luc
192.168.0.1      luc.thuis.com  ivette


why do I have to give a domain name? I'm only trying to set up a
small intranet, nothing else. Do I need to give a Gateway number or
DNS number?
I have three computers, two working with windows 98 SE and one with
win 2000 / Mandrake 8.1. Networking is OK under windows (192.168.0.1;
192.168.0.2; 192.168.0.3; workgroup: thuis; computer names: luc
(win2k/mandrake); ivette (win98SE and cablemodem); nina;    no NT-
domain)



what does your file " /etc/hosts " say?
