ok i have a problem

i have a server (192.168.0.1) and a pc (192.168.0.2)

the server is running a ircd server

well when i join that server using a client

it says cannot find hostname and it puts me like this

my_nick@192.168.0.2

instead of

my_nick@myhostname.com

what do i have to do to get it to resolve the hostname???

if i connect to any irc servers apart from mine, it finds the hostname. but its the fact that the machine and server is on a network

so what do i do

Thanx

You need to setup a local nameserver. On a LAN, by default, the ip's dont resolve to hostnames. I'd recommend searching www.tldp.org for info on nameservers or google oughta be helpful too...

i am running bind

cos its running domains

but what do u have to do so that internal ips resolve to hostnames

Thanx
