Hopefully i can get a better understanding on it. Scenario:have a linksys router, have a hardwired machine ME, have 2 wireless machines 98/me, on both wireless machines i can't ping by hostname, i can ping by ip address, i set static ip on both, reinstalle tcp/ip and the same situation, my hardwired machine works fine, do any of u know if this kind of problem has anything to do with the router? and if so can u explain to me how will the router have a wireless dns issue.

what is the ip address you are assiging to your wireless machines? They need to have the same dns server your hardwired machine has. but this sounds like a different issue? can you ping by netbios name?

Maybe a DNS cache issue ar bad DNS.
Can you manually insert the DNS servers IPs?
Use at least 2 of them in the TCP/IP settings applet.
