Fwd: [Voyage-linux] Host name resolve problem

[KeLLoGsX]

Thank you for the reading advice, haven't had the time yet but will certainly
bookmark them and have a look. In the meantime, I checked ipconfig /all and
got:
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 10.0.0.1
dhcp 10.0.0.1
dns 10.0.0.1

I changed the etc/network/interfaces with appropriate numbers (broadcast,
gateway, network)

*# ip addr*
inet 10.0.0.7/24 brd 10.0.0.255

*# ip route*
default via 10.0.0.1 dev wlan0

I use static ip now because it works to connect with putty from my windows
pc. But if I get this host problem solved I can change to dhcp and connect
via the host name instead, right?
