I see the same picture as Simon. No change at all when switching
from 10.5 to 10.6 or even older. I had this setup for many years
now. No problems here.<br>
<br>
Could there be any minor difference, like a spelling error?
somewhere.<br>

<br>
<br>
10.6, I got :
<br>
<br>
simons-macbookpro:~ simon$ hostname
<br>
simons-macbookpro.thehobsons.co.uk
<br>
simons-macbookpro:~ simon$ host simons-macbookpro
<br>
Host simons-macbookpro not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
<br>
simons-macbookpro:~ simon$ host simons-macbookpro.thehobsons.co.uk
<br>
simons-macbookpro.thehobsons.co.uk has address 192.168.0.202
<br>
<br>
<br>
Resolve.conf contains :
<br>
domain thehobsons.co.uk
<br>
search local
<br>
nameserver 192.168.0.33
<br>
<br>
because I've put "local" in the search domains box of network
setup which is supposed to deal with the fact that Microsoft seems
to instruct admins to use ".local" for a non-routable domain even
though .local is reserved for Zeroconf.
<br>
<br>
Taking out the local I then get :
<br>
simons-macbookpro:~ simon$ host simons-macbookpro
<br>
simons-macbookpro.thehobsons.co.uk has address 192.168.0.202
<br>
simons-macbookpro:~ simon$ ping simons-macbookpro
<br>
