Hi,
I have been trying to set up a small network at home. I have a desktop
computer and a laptop, which I use on a network at school. The laptop is a
Win95 computer configured to use DHCP to get its IP information.
I have gotten a DHCP server for my linux box and have it working ok. The
problem I am running into is that I can execute:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 OK!
ifconfig lo localhost Says that: hostname lookup failed!
Question: Shouldn't that work?
My /etc/hosts file is listed here:
localhost 127.0.0.1
jtwiebe 192.168.0.1
I am using RH 5.1 with a PCI NE-2000 compatible ethernet card. I have gone
through the NET-3-HOWTO and have everything working except the name
resolution.
Please help
Jeremy
