on my home LAN network, there are 2 fedora computers. The problem is that I'm unable to access one from the another by hostname. So, for example, when I'm mounting a NFS share, I've to use the IP address. The same issue is with ping, ssh, etc. What do I need to configure to make resolving by hostname on LAN work? Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Lukáš Å*embera

Accessing fedora on LAN by hostname
Ok, so since I don't want to have static records in /etc/hosts, it is
necessary to configure the bind daemon somehow? I want to be able to
resolve hosts by their HOSTNAME value in /etc/sysconfig/network.
Best regards,

Accessing fedora on LAN by hostname
if you do not want /etc/hosts you need a DNS server
in my opinion a nameserver for TWO hostnames is wasted time
you have much more work configure a dns as with TWO text-lines
which of the two is the dns-server?
are both the dns-server with slave/master?
why so much wasted time for two computers?

If you're using dynamic address allocation, what is that doles them out?
Another computer, a router? On +ACo-it+ACo would, probably, be the best place
to configure name and IP address associations.
Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I

Accessing fedora on LAN by hostname
do a man on nslookup or dig for query, see /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswtich.conf.
touch those bases and see what happens...
good luck....

The avahi-daemon should provide local network name resolution, for example my
pc is desktop.localdomain and my laptop is laptop.localdomain, on each I can
simply ping desktop.local or laptop.local
basically its just the first part followed by .local
my hostname could be foo.example and I would ping foo.local from another
machine on my network
hope that helps

Have you gotten your /etc/resolv.conf properly configured. That is the
file that translates a host name to an ip address.

I made a mistake.. the file is /etc/hosts not /etc/resolv.conf.

he said he do not want a static /etc/hosts
he said he has only two computers
nobody can imagine what exactly is his problem
remember two ip-addresses is trivial
maintain two /etc/hosts is trivial
but he do not like both
setup a DNS for two hosts is also trivial but nonsense
