I set-up my /etc/hosts file like this, for each client or server: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.10 computer_name
where, '192.168.1.10' represents the static address of the computer this is on, and 'computer_name' is the host name you gave to this computer. Of course, other entries would follow, as they pertain to your netwrok needs. This works for me, and seems to keep me out of trouble. :-) T ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Spatz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2002 11:18 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] localhost?
