Thanks very much
Will have a full go at that tomorrow! But:
resolve.conf
Only entry is
nameserver 192.168.1.2 (Our router)
hostname
Only has name of my Linux PC in it - marvin
hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 marvin
I SUSPECT that the reference to 127.0.1.1 is a typo by me ages ago! It
should be 127.0.0.1 What do you think?
This would be a good topic for a PLUG meeting. It might help to explain
why I cannot ping servername under Linux, but it is OK under Windows!
(Not sure if it matters really, but it would be nice to understand what
is going on.
My router has a (very) basic DNS option but not sure if that will help
here. No reference to a WINS server in it anywhere.
Anyway, I will suggest for the next PLUG meeting - any takers for a
presentation, and heaps of daft questions from me? 25th March

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]

That should fix it!
hope that helps

Sounds like a good idea to me, but how and where?
Sorry to be so thick!

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
