I'm having trouble networking with a few Mac OS computers on the LAN I've got my knoppix machine running on. LEt me see if I can give all of the pertinent details.

This system is a salvaged Intel Celeron 1.1 GHz running Knoppix 3.9. It's connected via eth0 to a router on which reside an iMac and two Apple Laptops (I don't know their models, I'm not sure it's relevant to the problem).

I've been trying to get this computer and the Apple computers to connect to a Freeciv server being run on one of the machines, but whenever a connection is attempted between the Knoppix computer and the Macs, I get a "Failed looking up host" error". It's frustrating because this computer has internet access, and I can ping the other computers with no packet loss, but I can't see them or connect to them via games or the network.

Any suggestions?
