'max2play'. However if I try to ssh to it from my Ubuntu machine,<br>
ssh root@max2play gives:<br>
'Could not resolve hostname max2play: Name or service not known'<br>
I can, of course connect using the IP address.<br>
<br>
How do I configure ssh so that I can use the device's name? I tried<br>
various suggestions.<br>
ssh-keygen -R max2play, and ssh-keygen -R [IP]<br>
seemed to work and update the known_hosts, but I still could not connect<br>
(Name or service not known)<br>
<br>
I tried<br>
>ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@max2play, but got<br>
ssh: Could not resolve hostname max2play: Name or service not known<br>
<br>
Is there a simple way of aliasing the IP address with the name?<br>
