[NTLUG:Discuss] OpenSSH - Newbie Question

*** Authentication Certificate ***

retaining dhcp is no "mountain".   your name resolution as configured on
linux is probably hosts & bind.  the windows boxes and the router are
probably only doing wins resolution.  all you have to do is add "wins" to
the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf, eg,.

hosts:      files dns wins

your samba package should provide the requisite /lib/libnss_wins.so

put the dhcp server in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file

, then ping or ssh should find the host names.
