    Trying to configure a machine (os is suse linux 7.1) here to have the a hostname eg: name.domain.ie

    Now I can ping it but the hostname only appears without the domain.ie part, and when I try to ping name.domain.ie I get an invalid host.

    Any ideas?

    Is the domain set is /etc/resolv.conf ?

    seach domain.ie

    if you are not running a dns server, then just stick it in /etc/hosts

    ip name name.domain.ie

    I did that, I can ping the hostname from the machine itself, but not other machines on the network; they can only see the name part.

    Oh by the way, samba is running as the name server.

    A DNS server or a WINS server ?
    I would immagine that you need to run a DNS server (read the howto)
    and point the other machines at that for their DNS.

    AFAIK wins doesn't to a hierarchical naming scneme such as fred.domain.com, it just uses fred.
