annoying domain.local issue

Hi, I have trouble accessing local services inside my company from my Fedora desktop. We have samba webserver at samba.domain.local and when I try to open it via Nautilus it fails. I also have Windows XP running in VirtualBox and Windows open this samba share with no issue. Also pinging samba.domain.local works form Windows in VirtualBox but doesn't work from Fedora. There is also a web server at web.domain.local that also works under Windows but doesn't work under Fedora 10. If I remember correctly this all worked under Fedora 6. Do you have any issues when domain ends with dot local (.local) ? How can I troubleshoot this more and fix it? Both Fedora and Windows use the same DNS and same default gateway. Thank you in advance, Valent. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
