For Samba, and other internal networking, you need to be able to resolve
the names of the local machines.

If you try to use the dig command with a machine hostname, do you get
it's IP?  And what about the reverse, if you do a dig -x followed by a
localmachine's IP address, does it get the right hostname as an answer?

Alternatively (if you don't have dig installed), if you try pinging
another local machine's hostname, does that work (do pings work, does it
ping the right IP)?  Even if pings don't get answered (due to
firewalls), if it tries to ping the right IP, then resolution ought to
be working fine.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
