Here's mine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dmcglone]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=Buddy NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=false Also see: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dmcglone]$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost eweb.central I never had a problem setting my hostname with Red Hat, but since I switched to Mandrake, some things are just so different. With Red Hat, the hostname was set in /etc/hostname on mandrake as I've learned is in /etc/sysconfig/network. Thats why I had to ask. : - ) - -- David M.
