[Bug 270395] Re: cannot resolve windows host name

2009-03-25 Thread clovepower
Thanks Steve, I was not aware of the options.

So far winbind appears to be working good on my LAN...and until it works
do not fix it :)

[Bug 270395] Re: cannot resolve windows host name

2009-03-15 Thread clovepower
Actually if I go to Windows and do

ping Windows Host Name

it works, and if I do

ping Linux Laptop Name

it works too.

IMHO I think that most,  if not all, Ubuntu users will sooner or later
plug their laptop into a LAN and they will expect to see other PCs,
hence this bug somehow will need to be addressed either fixing winbind
or with some other voodoo.

I think this is such a basic feature that WON'T FIX is inappropriate

Just to be clear.

Are you suggesting that to have my Ubuntu laptop to connect to my
Windows desktop on my 3 PC LAN, I've to setup an internal DNS server?

Or do I miss something?
