Hi
I've been having this problem since i reinstalled OSX on my macbook air.
I am running OSX 10.7.4
Whenever i try to ping my pc (named danni-pc) from my mac
i get this error:
Same result with 'danni-pc.local'
If i ping my linux server, "digis", it works fine-ish - i have to put .local at the end of the hostname for it to work, but i guess i can live with that:
The mac
can ping itself by using 'danniair.local'.
I can ping danni-pc from my server (digis) and the other way around without any problems.
I can also ping the mac
(danniair) from danni-pc.
If I use IP-adresses instead of hostnames it works fine in all cases.
I have tried to enable windows sharing on the mac
under 'Sharing', and checked the "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" box.
When I go to network settings on the mac
, it states that it is connected to my wireless network and has the ip 10.0.0.149.
I don't know what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
