I've just setup Windows and Linux (CentOS 5) network. The problem is I can ping Linux from Windows using it's IP but I cannot ping it using the hostname.
All you need to do is run Samba so windows can see your Linux machine. If you don't have Samba, just install it and run it as a service.
If you have CentOS or other latest Linux distros, Samba might already be installed. On CentOS, just go to the Service Configuration and run smb. That's it.
