I am having the same problem, I think. &nbsp;I guess I posted my question in the wrong spot (see &quot;LAN DNS with Caldera OpenLinux &amp;&nbsp;Win95&quot; in the Linux General section). &nbsp;I don't think the answer proposed by foxr is relevant at this point (maybe later though).<br />
<br />
The problem I am having, as it appears <br />
l8f56 is having, is trying to get the machines to recognize each other by name. &nbsp;So far, only numeric IP addresses are working. &nbsp;I can use names by putting the other computer's name and IP address in the /etc/hosts file on Linux, or the &lt;winnt root&gt;\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC<wbr />\hosts file on WinNT. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
However, I would really like to get DNS lookup working. &nbsp;If l8f56 does not have this requirement, then the hosts files should work for services like ftp, telnet, etc., and Samba can be installed for WINS compatibility and more integrated file-sharing (at least from NT's point of view - it's still kind of like ftp from Linux's point of view).<br />

I would like assistance in making my Caldera Linux box talk to the rest of the network (NT 4.0).<br />
<br />
I am able to ping other hosts (by IP Address only).<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Making Linux talk with NT

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
