First let me say that I really do like this Distro. So far it looks like it will be able to do what I want it to. I really apreciate all of the community has done.
I am more of a Desktop guiy coming from the windows world. What Linux experince I have is limited and revolves around the desktop as well. I do have some light Net admin experince. so I am not a complete newbie, but it is from a windows/novell world.
I installed SME 6.0.1 from contribs.org. The server installed fine. I also have installed the following additional contribs:
devinfo-mitel-update-system-0.0.1-15.noarch.rpm
dmc-mitel-adv-backup-restore-0.0.1-5.noarch.rpm
sme-dhcp-dns-0.9-rc1.noarch.rpm
e-smith-dhcpmanager-1.3-4.noarch.rpm
e-smith-navmanager-0.1-2.60beta.noarch.rpm
The problem:
Name resolution does not appear to be working properly. If I ping
www.home.lan I should get response form the server but instead it tells me the host can't be found.
I can connect to the server from the windows machine by entering \\servername and I get a list of shares.
If I ping the servername I get a response
If I ping servername.home.lan it say's that it can't find the host.
also I am unable to ping any of the DHCP clients by name. I am obviously missing something here but I don't know what. any info would be greatly appreciated.
