Hey guys!
I'm setting up a File/Groupeware Server in our LAN with Arch on it, replacing an old Debian Server. Right now I'm stuck at getting the Windows and the Debian Server to recognize the new Arch Servers' Hostname. I need this because I'm assigning IP-Addresses dynamically and therefore need to use the Hostname to connect to the server via ssh.
If configured the hostname to be whity in my rc.conf and also added this
127.0.0.1 whity localhost localhost whity
to /etc/hosts and this
hosts: wins files dns
to my /etc/nsswitch.conf. All Computers in our LAN use the same nameserver but I still can't access the Server via it's hostname (neither ping nor ssh works).
Anyone got an idea what the problem is?

You must add the name/ip to the nameserver and change your /etc/hosts to something like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 whity.localdomain whity
