unable to ping LAN

[Marty Landman]

I have a new  2.6.20-15-server #2 installation which seems to be 
working pretty well. I can ssh in and out, access the web and access 
samba shares from the win xp workstation which is also the gateway.

What I can't do is ping any box on the lan by name other than the 
gateway. Can ping by ip though. Didn't think hosts had to be set up - 
want hosts for the lan to be resolved by the gateway.

marty at mandelbaum:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
search face2interface.net
nameserver 192.168.0.1
marty at mandelbaum:~$ ping -c2 mrwilhelm
ping: unknown host mrwilhelm
marty at mandelbaum:~$ ping -c2 192.168.0.111
