Can't ping by hostname from Fedora Core 5

Dear Newsgroup,
I would appreciate any help you can give me about how to properly
configure networking under Fedora Core 5. My trouble is that I am
unable to ping by hostname.
My setup is fairly simple. I have small peer-to-peer local network
with two computers. Each has an ethernet card and connects to a hub.
One computer runs Win2000, has the unimaginative name of win2k, and
has been assigned the static IP address 192.168.0.32. The other
computer runs Linux, currently Fedora Core 5, is named srlinux, and
has a static IP address of 192.168.0.35.
from srlinux, I can only ping win2k by IP address. My guess is that IFrom win2k, I can ping srlinux by either hostname or IP address. But
corrupted some configuration file while trying to configure samba.
But I just can't see where I went wrong.
I've included the contents of the following config files and commands
below and will be glad to provide any others that will help pinpoint
the trouble.
/etc/hosts
/etc/host.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
ifconfig
netstat -r
ping
uname -a
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Best regards, Wendy Tucker
