I edited my hosts file and something went wrong
and I can nolonger boot the BOX

the messages on the monitor looks something like this

Starting sendmail: #and it hangs for a long time but overcomes the problem
the error that follows in
!!! NWServ 0:Panic !!!
NWServ     0:Get-ini:
Cannot get auto internal net with help of gethostbyname
!!! NWServ 0:Panic !!!
NWServ     0:init:dev:
Auto device is only in combination with internal net allowded
start SMB services: smbd httpd: cannot determine localhost name
Use ServerName to set it manually

                and here the system hangs

I can go linux single and edit
but I do not quite know what to edit.

below are two files that might be need correction

/etc/resolv.conf
----------------
search metta.lk 
nameserver 204.143.107.34
nameserver 204.143.96.17
nameserver 204.143.96.23

/etc/hosts
-----------
204.143.107.46  dhamma  dhammma
127.0.0.1       localhost       localhost.localdomain

THIS is surely the way to learn,
but sorry that youall are the ones I trouble.
