More on Write & Talk

Thanks for the comments, but I am still having problems. Certainly I did consult the man pages, but they didn't seem to help. So here is the scenario:

Two computers are running Linux on a network, each assigned IP addresses & subnet masks from DHCP (NT Server).

Both computers have a terminal window open.

One the one I type talk tim or write tim, and I get the message "user not logged on."

Someone mentioned using the format talk host@hostname. How do I find out what to put in host and hostname?

Any further help would be great.

Thanks,

SAB
