I am running Etch on vmware server 1x on windows, I can only access the guest via ip and not hostname, I have no trouble with Debian Lenny, both installed 1 after each other with autp network config via local dhcp server, virtual network card is in bridged network mode, any ideas as to what may be the problem? im on a larger company lan which has either windows 2003 or bind server, not too sure which one is used as they both perform different functions...

1You don't mention at all what you're using for DNS...I'm thinking this might get moved to superuser. – Bart Silverstrim Nov 09 '09 at 13:02

i think it has something to do with dhcp lease and leaving a hostname with the lease record or something.. – Nov 09 '09 at 16:01

i have tried setting "send host-name
" in the dhclient.conf but it didn't make any differrence? – Nov 10 '09 at 12:20
