Your RH box isn't running a DNS server.  You could run a caching DNS
nameserver on the RH box, but I would advise against it for security
reasons unless there are 20+ clients in the internal network.

Simply set the client computer DNS server settings to the same as the RH
box, and it will work.

DHCP server wont fix this problem, but it will make it easier for you
later especially if you move computers around often.
