I am running Mandrake 7.1 on a stand alone pc that I use to link up to the
internet via modem but is not networked to any other pc.

For costmetic reasons (the name appears in a variety of process and
memory monitors) I decided to change my hostname to jeff_PC.home rather than
hostname.localdomain.  After several attempts to do so using the command
"hostname", both as a user and as root I found the changes did not stick after
a re-login.  I then used DrakeConf/Linuxconf/Networking/Basic Host information
and this did change it in a fashion that stuck after relogging in.

Problem:

Now on bootup, when I get to the screen of "OKs", I get an error
message:
"Starting httpd: cannot locate local server name.   -  Failed"

And on shutdown:
"failure on shutting down http" and leaves my external modem in a strange
lights configuration.

What have I done wrong and how do I fix this.

Thanks.
