Ron -

I have found the problem, but I do not know enough about Linux to know 
what to change...

Here is the current "hosts" file that "sendmail" likes:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
192.168.0.11    fireball
192.168.0.20    blue-thunder
192.168.0.12    linux
# 192.168.0.22    tlix
192.168.0.22    t-lix

"getname" returns "tlix", so somwhere in the scheme of things, "tlix" 
when in the hosts file is "not liked".

Also, when I am on another computer that is part of the DOMAIN, I can 
ping "tlix"; but not "t-lix".
