Thanks a lot! Now I got the point. :-) <div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Well, Deepak, is there a WINS server on your network? I believe that if you are running a workgroup (i.e. no NT or AD domain), your Windows systems will still be able to find the web server using NetBIOS name resolution, but your Fedora system running Samba will not be able to -- unless you have a WINS server configured. The simplest way to get your Fedora client to resolve names on your network is to use the hosts file which I believe you have already created for your other Windows systems. Backup your original /etc/hosts file, then append the various entries for your computers on your network, to the same file (do NOT delete the localhost line in /etc/hosts, or you will not be able to launch X windows). -- Pascal Chong email: <a href="mailto:chongym@cymulacrum.net">chongym@cymulacrum.net</a> web: <a href="http://cymulacrum.net">http://cymulacrum.net</a> pgp: <a href="http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc">http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc </a> "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l'humanité. et que c'est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEp3cpQQLDZ1XJeNYRAvfRAKC/ccl6drOg1i3nx2UPGH1kEoiqWwCdE24z 1NF/hDxJi7rtVNelXGLVndA= =9PSc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote> </div>
