Hi,

I am a newbie in this area. I have the following setup.

On my laptop I have installed
Centos linux is a the client in vmware
host is winxp professional
I have linksys router with dns enabled (ip address 192.168.1.1)
The centos server has the following ip: 192.168.1.31 (got from the router)

vmware : network adapter ->bridged
Hostname is vm-oracle10
/etc/hosts entry is 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost vm-oracle10
/etc/resolv.conf -> nameserver 192.168.1.1
ping vm-oracle10 gives 127.0.0.1
dig vm-oracle10 gives no answer section result only the question section
dig 192.168.1.31 gives both

evrything works fine. I can use firefox for browsing .

Only the hostname cannot be resolved in

Please help, it is small but irritating that it is not working...
