The DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf on the Red Hat machine are exactly the same as the DNS settings on the Win2k machine, so that isn't it.
Another strange thing about the Red Hat box is that when I start it up, Gnome tells me that it can't resolve the hostname, livia. However, the /etc/hosts file DOES contain
127.0.0.1 livia localhost.localdomain localhost
and has contained that line throughout this entire mess.A swirly is always amusing (as long as I am not the one receiving it. In your /etc/resolv.conf you need some entries like the following:
search my.home-domain.org my-company.com server 192.168.1.1 server 192.168.1.2
Where the IP addresses are those belonging to your DNS servers,
and the search domains are those that you wish to be able to lookup short hostnames in without typing a fully qualified domain name.

Thanks for the quick response. My resolv.conf looks something like this:
search ph.cox.net server 68.2.16.25 server 68.2.16.30 server 68.6.16.30
This is the same as what I have in my Windows network configuration (the one that works), so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. (Fluuuussshhhhhh . . . .)
