Infrastructure Software

Hi Guys

Please forgive me if this is a really stupid quesion but I am very new to Linux.

I have recently installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 onto a server with the server name: oradbsvr

After following a tutorial from otn, I have successfully installed a 10g Database (10.2.0.1) and Apex 3.1 and APACHE. Whilst operating on the Linux box locally, all urls for the EM console and Apex work fine:

e.g.

http://oradbsvr:7777/pls/apex

When i try and access any of the EM or Apex sites from my windows box, I have to replace the hostname oradbsvr with its ip address (192.168.1.14)

This is the same at the cmd prompt from windows in that I can ping the Linux machine by ip but not hostname.

Since the Linux box will eventually be switched over to use DHCP, manually adding an IP address to the windows host file is not an option.

I guess my question is what do i need to do on the Linux box so that it can accessed via its hostname when using DHCP?

Thanks for any suggestions
