The resolution hostname -> IP can be done via a hosts file, viaDNS or via Samba hosts file : if you are working with unix systems, you can add the hostname <-> ip for all hosts on your networks in EVERY host. You have to have the same copy of /etc/hosts on every computer. There is an equivalent for windows, but I dont remember where (search for a file named "hosts" in C:\Windows). DNS : you have to set up a DNS server for your internal network, which is probably a bitdifficult if you are a newbie. Samba : that is the Microsoft way of doing things. When you ask for where to put the workgroup, you are probably refering to Samba. So the place is /etc/samba/smb.conf. You can edit this file via debconf (dpkg-reconfigure samba) or via SWAT (open "http://localhost:901"; in your browser). Samba shouldtake care of the name resolution. It is not very efficient, but it's easy to setup and works for small networks. > and where and how can i set the workgroup it has to be in? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
