Also there should only be one Hosts and Services file on the PC, if not then I-Net can get a little confused, because it might not be seeing the correct hosts and services file. The hosts and services file that it will see first is dicatated by the order in the PATH statement in the autoexec.bat. Secondly, even if you are running DNS on your UNIX box, you might have to have an entry in the /etc/hosts file for your PC.
