I have a Ubuntu Server 9.04 image set up in VMWare Fusion 3.0.0, using the NAT option for the guest's network connection. From the Mac host, I can ssh to the linux guest just fine using it's IP address, but I would like to be able to refer to it by hostname for connivence. ie:

mac-host:~ ssh [email protected]

I had a similar setup using Parallels a couple years ago, but I don't remember how it was set up. It may have "just worked".

Any suggestion on how to make this work?
