Bash can talk to the other host by IPv4 address, and pinging it by name works in the Windows command prompt; however, it can't be resolved by name in bash.\r\n\r\nA possible complication is that the local network is IPv6-enabled. It's a recent Comcast wireless router between the two machines (both running Win10). I haven't tried disabling IPv6 (not sure how to do it).\r\n\r\nI also tried to follow [these steps](http://askubuntu.com/a/516533/581862) to install the winbind service, but this doesn't seem to work on LXSS; afterward, when trying to resolve names I just got the error \"Could not determine network interfaces, you must use a interfaces config line\".\r\n\r\nAre there any steps I can take to enable local name resolution in bash?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/comments/252110396","html_url":"https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/890#issuecomment-252110396","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/890","id":252110396,"user":{"login":"Reedbeta","id":1578730,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1578730?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta","html_url":"https://github.com/Reedbeta","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Reedbeta/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-06T22:51:03Z","updated_at":"2016-10-06T22:51:03Z","body":"@wrench, as mentioned in the very first message in this thread, winbind doesn't work in Linux-on-Windows."}}
