Hi<BR>
<BR>
I have a Fedora linux machine running DHCP. When I connect my WindowsXP laptop to this network a new IP is assigned and everything is fine. THe host name of my Fedora m/c is HomeProxy. When I try ping HomeProxy from my laptop it does not work. But the n/w is fine since if I try ping 192.168.1.1 it works immediately.<BR>
<BR>
How do I ping Fedora m/c from my Xp m/c using host name ?<BR>
<BR>
THanks in advance for all your help<BR>
<BR>
Regards<BR>
Srini
