But it's worth the expense of a wins server? Or are you saying that it's ok with silly microsoft broadcasts (smb)?Quote:

Thanks javiwwweb... worked perfectly as described.
I have ubuntu working as a DDNS server.. and there is no extra hardware in my mix . I can ping hostname and IP address effortlessly. The method described above seems to get the job done no problem. :DQuote:

Check this... I thought everything was working perfectly but now I've come across this.
I am using DHCP assigned by my router (Dlink DI-624). The server is a static DHCP assigned IP. At random, or so it seems, I cannot find the server by hostname. It is always available by it's IP.
Example:
I ping SVR1... I get 192.168.1.101:confused:
At some random time later I ping SVr1, I get 192.168.1.2 (correct IP):-D
At some random time later I ping SVR1, I get 192.168.1.103:mad:
This is not a huge deal since this is on a small home network and I know the server IP address. But it is frustrating.
Along with the DHPC, I have Ubuntu setup as the only wins server, and it's te only linux pc on the network. Also, just for the record, I have changed all the windows pc's to not maintain network browser lists:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Par ameters\MaintainServerList = FALSE
Any ideas?
Help! I thought this was the answer, but it isn't repeatable for me.
I have two ubuntu PCs on my network, both running 5.10. I made these changes to the first PC (updated /etc/nsswitch.conf, installed winbind), and it works great. I can ping the second PC using its hostname.
I thought my problem was solved until I went to do it to the second machine, and it doesn't work. I updated the nsswitch.conf file, installed winbind, and nothing changed! I mean, when I try ping the first machine from the second, I still get
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?Quote:
ping: unknown host: hostname
I've been looking for this kind of solution for ages, thanks.
Any ideas how to get the the arp cache to show hostnames as well?
