With regard to this one, make sure you have DNS set up properly, the
easiest fix is to be sure the short name is in the host file. i.e.:

<RIGHT>
192.168.0.1	fileserver fileserver.domain.com

<NOT QUITE ENOUGH>
192.168.0.1	fileserver.domain.com

Also, making sure /etc/resolv.conf is set up properly helps. Things like
"search" and "domain" options are key (see man resolv.conf)

Hope this helps,
