Hostname on intranet
- by user7242
I have a test server that is running Ubuntu Server in a windows network.
Networking is configured as follows
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname ca
the command cat /etc/hostname returns ca.
But when I use the command host 10.49.156.196 (its current IP address) from another machine on the network, it returns as follows:
196.156.49.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer owner-pc.xxxxx.xxx
I can access the machine via SSH and browser using IP address, but not by name ca
Any suggestions? I tried installing samba/nmbd as suggested in another post, but to no avail.
