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?

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 On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 11:34 PM, Lukáš Šembera wrote: > Hi all, > > on my home LAN network, there are 2 fedora computers. The problem is that >
