I can't figure out how to get name resolution for computers on my home WLAN, though everything works all right if I type in explicit IP addresses. The IP addresses will vary because of DHCP, so I can't simply put them in /etc/hosts.
The hostnames and IP addresses are all known to the router (Linksys wrt54g), as I can confirm by querying the router. Should the router not resolve these local hostnames? Or do I misunderstand how this should work under DHCP?
Thanks for the responses, everybody. I infer that there is no simple fix within the capability of the DHCP server in my $50 Linksys wrt54g router. Given that there is no simple fix, and that the only problem is that I have to manually enter IP addresses whenever I do local ftp or ssh, I think I'll follow the principle: "If it ain't broke (much), don't fix it (much)."
