Hi guys, I'm running into a bit of a problem with Xubuntu 8.04. I can't seem to be able to resolve the host names for my other machines on the network. I have no problem resolving external hosts (like ubuntuforums.org), or pinging the local machines directly by IP address, but resolving by name doesn't work:
foosoft@tsundere:~$ ping wintermute
ping: unknown host wintermute
foosoft@tsundere:~$ ping wintermute.local
ping: unknown host wintermute.local
Any ideas what could be up? I know it's not a hardware problem because this works when I'm in Windows.
