Tnx Tim..

Funny because when I fired up the computers I could use name for resolving
remote computer, but only for a while.

1) I pinged the computers itself by same machine (i.e. I pinged A from A):

ping Fujiantonio
PING Fujiantonio.homenet.telecomitalia.it (192.168.1.69) 56(84) bytes of
data.
64 bytes from Fujiantonio.homenet.telecomitalia.it (192.168.1.69):
icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.135 ms

and the remote computer ping pcdesktop1
PING pcdesktop1 (192.168.1.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from pcdesktop1 (192.168.1.3): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.041 ms


but if I ping from laptop to pcdestop1 (or the reverse) I get:

 ping pcdesktop1
ping: unknown host pcdesktop1

ping Fujiantonio
ping: unknown host Fujiantonio

I will follow by dig output

Tnx again
