Re: DNS Question

[fiaid@quasi-sane.com]

A couple of questions:

1)  are you running an internal DNS server?
2)  are all the machines on your network on the same domain name, i.e. 
pc1.foo.net, pc2.foo.net with the domain being foo.net.
3)  if 2 do you have the machine set up to use your domain name as a 
suffix search?
4)  if you are not doing 1, are you using some sort of centralized 
management for user accounts on these machines?
5)  if you are using a centralized management system, what are you using?
6)  what OS's are the machines on this network?
