Does that mean that you can't resolv/ping your linux machine from another computer? If so, you need to configure your local DNS. If you dont have a DNS, you may want to edit /etc/hosts on the other machines. - man hosts /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 62.216.31.50 Is this the DNS of your ISP? /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.2 niobe Looks O.k. to me. and where and how can i set the workgroup it has to be in? There is no such thing in Linux. -- Matthias Hentges [www.hentges.net] - PGP + HTML are welcome ICQ: 97 26 97 4 - No files, no URLs My OS: Debian Woody: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: (newbie) hostname, workgroup
As far as the host is concerned try changing your host file to look like this /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 niobe localhost all on one line. I know nothing of workgroups however. - Original Message - From: Marvin Vek [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Debian-User [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 4:29 PM Subject: (newbie) hostname, workgroup debian installed nice, i can resolve it's ip in the network too, just not it's hostname niobe. /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 62.216.31.50 /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.2 niobe and where and how can i set the workgroup it has to be in?NI Sujzª¶¶n¢S²y~¹®Nn¢r²²-±? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The resolution hostname - IP can be done via a hosts file, viaDNS or via Samba hosts file : if you are working with unix systems, you can add the hostname - ip for all hosts on your networks in EVERY host. You have to have the same copy of /etc/hosts on every computer. There is an equivalent for windows, but I dont remember where (search for a file named hosts in C:\Windows). DNS : you have to set up a DNS server for your internal network, which is probably a bitdifficult if you are a newbie. Samba : that is the Microsoft way of doing things. When you ask for where to put the workgroup, you are probably refering to Samba. So the place is /etc/samba/smb.conf. You can edit this file via debconf (dpkg-reconfigure samba) or via SWAT (open http://localhost:901; in your browser). Samba shouldtake care of the name resolution. It is not very efficient, but it's easy to setup and works for small networks. and where and how can i set the workgroup it has to be in? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
