I think the router is definitely capable of it since I can ping my local NAS server (netgear readynas which is unix) using the hostname.

Do you mean on the windows pc trying to ping the tinycorepc? That would be a pain since I have quite a few windows pcs :( and besides if it does work for my nas then why not for tinycore :(

Your nameserver needs to know the name and IP of your tinycore.

resolv.conf reports
--- Code: ---search lan
nameserver 192.168.1.254
--- End code ---
192.168.1.254 is the default gateway. Is there anyway to find out the nameserver ip address? Is this different to the dhcp server?
What confuses me is that in my nas I just set the host name and it worked fine after a reboot, didn't have to do anything special to the windows pc. Is there anything I can check on the nas (to replicate settings)?

resolv.conf shows nameserver aquired by dhcp.
