		ping lappy also produces "unknown host". Since I changed lappy to Dell-1545 I haven't seen it on the LAN in Thunar, over many reboots, so I think that part of it is set. 
The more I think about this, the machine's inability to access its own share is at the heart of the problem.
I just tested the problem machine, and it is able to access a share I have on my main LL unit.
