[PLUG] Half a network problem

  On the newly installed distribution on my notebook, the network is up and
running, but I cannot reach all other hosts.

  When I ping by hostname I can reach "caddis" (192.168.55.2) and router1
(192.168.55.4), but I cannot reach "salmo" (192.168.55.1). I cannot find the
glitch. The message returned by "ping salmo" is:
	ping: unknown host salmo

  The other direction works: pinging lemna from salmo.

  /etc/hosts is the same on all boxes (transferred by floppy disk). Isn't
this where host names are resolved to IP addresses? Where else should I look
for this problem?

Thanks,

Rich
