Also in your windwos DNS server check all host entries. is you have same IP with two different host names. thesn rectify it Sujit o: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:alok.rhct@gmail.com">alok.rhct@gmail.com</a>; <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:redhat-install-list@redhat.com">redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> > Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 11:39:23 -0700 > CC: > Subject: Re: Duplicate name exists on network > > > On Thu, 17 Jan 2008 21:24:50 +0530, "Alok Pandey" <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:alok.rhct@gmail.com"><alok.rhct@gmail.com></a> > said: > > Hi > > I have a network mix OS of approx 30 machine.
