Bill Gates's operating system is no less maddening than it was ten years 
ago. Here's a home network with six nodes, four running Win, one running 
Ubuntu desktop, and now a new one running Ubuntu server. From the Ubuntu 
desktop node, I can ping the new Ubuntu server node by IP address and by 
name. From the Windows nodes, though, I can ping it /by IP address 
only/. Oy. What am I missing?
