[ UBUNTU ] ping computer hostname


By default i cannot ping the computers hostname but i can ping their ip addresses.

1. Install libnss-winbind
  • sudo apt-get install libnss-winbind

2. Modify nsswitch.conf
  • gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

3. Locate the line "Host:" then append with "wins" at end. so it look like this below:
  •  hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins

4. Save the file then exit.

5. Restart winbind service
  • service winbind start
