I would start checking your network settings in
resolve.conf
hostname
hosts
I suspect you need to run a SAMBA/WINS server but, if you do - check
that those settings don't conflict with your opendns [and as a result
they may have been switched off]
Also - check your logs for a MASTER BROWSER error, this will confirm a
network conflict [you can only have one master browser and they fight
each other]
*Try this [a nice easy read]:*

That should fix it!
hope that helps

Check your NETBIOS settings across the network.

I have just implemented OpenDNS which means that I have switched my
router to use OpenDNS's DNS servers.
I have also set up an account with them that does things like web
filtering etc.
Everything works fine EXCEPT:
On my two Linux boxes (Ubuntu) I can no longer browse the windows
network network.
Windows machine respond the standard UNC names \\machinename\
Linux only now responds to IP addresses
I can mount in Linux if I use IP addresses.
Is this connected to the change in DNS server, or is something else
going on and what do I look for and where!?
Thanks everyone
Ed
