That's because it's a question and this is the right list.

Have you tried pinging the other machine by IP eg: ping 192.168.0.2 ?
if it works by number and not by name it's probably your /etc/hosts
file needs the name of the other machine mapped to it's IP eg:

192.168.0.1    dj dj.donselaar # The host name of the gateway?
192.168.0.2    other other.donselaar # The host name of the other pc
etc...

HTH
John.
