I recently changed the subnet of my home network.

Here's my setup

server: RH 7.2 acting as a Windows domain server.

one physical network interface set to obtain an IP address via DHCP (.4 currently)

The physical interface has one alias (.250)

my host file has my server name "bocephus" resolving to both the physical interface and the alias.

I have no firewall running on my Linux box, all of my machines are behind a hardware NAT firewall.

I can ping the server from the server by name and IP.

I can ping the client machine from the server by IP but not by hostname.

I can ping the server from the client machine by IP but not machine name.

server:
smbclient -L {server IP and name} lists all of the SMB shares on the server

smbclient -L {client IP} lists all of the SMB shares on the client. I can not list the shares if I try to -L by the clients hostname

client:
net view {server IP} lists all SMB chares
on the server. I cannot view the server by hostname

The server does not show up in the Network Neighborhood.

So the basic problem seems to be that the broadcasting on the server is not working. It had been working until I changed the IP address on the physical interface and the alias. I changed the subtnet of the IP pool on my DHCP router.

Any ideas what to try next?
