But then again, opening the /etc/hosts file I see this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
At first I erase this line, replaces it with the hostname I want, then restart my network using the command
Ugh! You should not erase this line. Leave it as it is and then put in the IP address and the hostname you want. This line is the loop back address needed for your box to talk to itself even though your box is not on a network.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /sbin/service network restart Stenger ned grensesnitt eth0: [ OK ] Stenger ned loopback-grensesnitt: [ OK ] Setter parametre for nettverk: [ OK ] Bringer opp loopback-grensesnitt: [ OK ] Bringer opp grensesnitt eth0: [ OK ] (its norwegian if you whould wonder)
Then typing hostname gives my the same old result. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# hostname 062016248092.customer.alfanett.no [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks, Vegard
