Can you resolve names? If not you need to add the ip's of some dns
servers in your /etc/resolv.conf  but the better way to do it is setup a
caching only dns server on CompA, have CompA eather do a root query or
forward to a faster dns server, then use that box in your
/etc/resolv.conf for both computers.
