    Hello everybody.
    I'm trying to configure a public folder in my linux box that can be
    accessed by other window machines in my local network. However i'm
    unable to make it work.

    I've been googling and reading and come to the conclusion that i'm
    having a DNS problem. When I do
            ping WinMachine
    I get:
            ping: unknown host WinMachine

    However when i ping the ip address directly, everything works find.

    I guess i'm doing something dumb here.
    Any help?

    Some info:

    # cat /etc/resolv.conf
    ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
    search Cybes3
    nameserver 192.168.200.254

    # ifconfig eth0
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:D7:2E:BD
              inet addr:192.168.200.121 Bcast:192.168.200.255
    Mask:255.255.255.0
              inet6 addr: fe80::20c:f1ff:fed7:2ebd/64 Scope:Link
              UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
              RX packets:13710 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
              TX packets:21841 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
              collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
              RX bytes:3643914 (3.4 Mb) TX bytes:2619880 (2.4 Mb)

    Thanks!
