IP address: 127.0.0.1 Host name: localhost.localdomain Host Aliases: localhost Which one would I change to "Marc's Computer" -- I am assuming "Host Aliases" is the one to change? If I do make this change, will this affect any of my software? Are there any repercussions to changing Host Aliases from the point of view of Magia, will it affect the way it works?
Setting up a network requires a basic knowledge of how dns systems work. "Marc's Computer" is not a valid name. What you should be doing is adding an ip address/validname for each computer on the lan. For example, I have ... 192.168.10.1 router r 192.168.10.20 xppro.hodgins.homeip.net xppro 192.168.10.30 knoppix.hodgins.homeip.net xppro In my case, xppro and knoppix are virtualbox installs, using static ip addresses, router is my router.
