Thanks again Rein for your suggestions

Concerning 1.  I told you that I already tried this before you suggested it.
 I have:

[root at khazad fermier]# vi /etc/hosts
[root at khazad fermier]# host khazad

[root at khazad fermier]# hostname

192.168.0.3             falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar falahmizar

This give no solution.

Concerning the DNS option, it does  not seem to me that I can configure my
cheap router to host a DNS service.  It offers a DDNS service, but it asks
for a hostname and I think this means some other server is actually the DDNS
host.  Do you mean I should configure one of the Linux PC's as a DNS?

This gives:

[fermier at khazad fermier]$ WINEDEBUG=+winsock wine
"d:\Programme\nettune\NCentral.exe"
trace:winsock:DllMain 0x406f0000 0x1 0x1
trace:winsock:WSAStartup verReq=101
trace:winsock:WSAStartup succeeded
trace:winsock:WS_gethostname name 0x1000edbc, len 63
trace:winsock:WS_gethostname <- 'khazad.tele2.fr'

trace:winsock:WS_gethostbyname "" ret (nil)
trace:winsock:DllMain 0x406f0000 0x0 0x1
[fermier at khazad fermier]$

It seems that WS_gethostbyname "" ret (nil); could be the problem, but I
realy haven't a foggy clue as to how I can fix that.

Right this gives a lot of output, so much so that I had to forward it to a
file in order to get it all.  it is more than the buffer space of one
console:

The bits about enabling a DNS and the Winserver seem interesting, but I
cannot tell whether this succeeded or not.

Actually, I would prefer to have the networking under Linux to be fixed. 
This seems to me to be THE best solution of all.

Thanks again.
