I am using Redhat 9.2 , trying to setup DHCP properly.

My problem is I can nslookup some machines but not others in the
network, though I can ping them fine.

This is what i have done till now :
Lets say "abc" is my linux host and I have 3 other machines on the
network, "def is solaris,
and the last 2 are XP
----------------
 /etc/hosts
 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
192.168.100.1 abc
192.168.100.2 def
192.168.100.3 ghi
192.168.100.4 jkl
-------------
 /etc/hostname.eth0
abc
 ------------
touch /etc/dhcp.eth0
-----------
touch /etc/notrouter
 ------------
 /etc/resolv.conf
domain earthlink.net
 nameserver ***.***.***.***
 ----------

/etc/nsswitch.conf

 hosts : files dns

 ---------------
 I can nslookup 2 machines, one solaris and one windows, though I can
ping them all. I cant
nslookup myself ( abc from abc ).

What am I doing wrong?
