RE: GNU/Linux server on Windows Network: Hostname / IP Mapping

Unless the linux box is added to the DNS server, then that hosts file is your only hope. You could setup an alternate DNS server on the linux box, but then you still have to config the winschmoes boxes to use it. Once a lont time ago, I found that etc directory on a NT box, then found a hosts file, and then I thought holy shit, maybe this thing makes sense afterall, but then I noticed there was no var or usr and that little bit of etc wasn't nearly enough.

Not sure how to do that... Indecently it is a managed DNS, so I'd have to
get someone's permission also! :-/

Did you add the debian box to your networks DNS server?
