Hello, Earlier, I had a question about HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAME, and wondered how and where to set them correctly.
At the suggestion of eric, I fired up linuxconf (in GUI mode - it would not work in cli) to see what's in there. The help available in linuxconf was a bit confusing to me, and did not help to explain how to set HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAME. I didn't know what to change, so I left it as is. On exiting the program, it says it will update the config. Since I didn't change anything, I said OK, do it. After it quit, I seem to have lost ALL network access - local and inet. I tried a reboot, and that did not help. Prior to firing up linuxconf, I had access locally (in and out) & on internet, and could print to the local net printer. Everything seemed fine and worked well after a fresh 9.1 install/upgrade. I know all the hardware, etc CAN work OK. What happened? I would really appreciate help in getting the net access to work again. [Maybe also solving why the comp shows up as 'localhost' to other machines on the local net.] :-) -- Thanks very much, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
