There are a couyple files to check. There's nsswitch for the localhost
search order, hosts to list all the machines on the localnet, host.conf
does the same more basic functions that nsswitch does, resolv.conf lists
nameservers to find other hosts, and if you run dns set up then all the
bind9 or dbjdns configs to mess with.
If you don't have dns set up for the localnet, then you need to have all
hosts listed in hosts.
