I should have described the symptoms of the hostname resolution failure 
instead of only saying it does not work. (fail)

Anyway, here is what happens when I try to ssh from Cygwin on brolin-V13 
to cannon, which is an Ubuntu PC on the LAN:

[brolin AT brolin-V13] [0] [1] ~/
$ ssh -X cannon
ssh: Could not resolve hostname cannon: hostname nor servname provided, 
or not known
[brolin AT brolin-V13] [255] [2] ~/
$

Any ideas?
