Ping and general network weirdness

[fbsd_user]

Do you have fragile.mshome.net in the /etc/hosts  file?

To ping using fragile.mshome.net you would need a DSN server
to resolve that name to an internal IP address.

Look in the ports collection for djbdns

Hi everybody;

Not doing too well with my first freeBSD install. I have a machine
set up with the name "fragile", no ipv6, DHCP, no ipfw, and sshd on.

Problem is, I can ping out to other machines on the network, or to
another machine on the Internet ('net connection via another winXP
machine), but neither of the other machine on the network can ping
fragile. Fragile can ping itself via localhost, but not by name.

 From any machine, or fragile itself, pinging "fragile" or the IP
gives:

bramley:~ phil$ ping fragile
PING fragile.mshome.net (192.168.0.116): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
^C
--- fragile.mshome.net ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
bramley:~ phil$

Any ideas?
