Double check that /etc/hosts has an alias for localhost... something like this
127.0.0.1 locahost.localdomain localhost That way, localhost is resolved back to 127.0.0.1 the same as localhost.localdomain. give it a shot, (I am assuming that you have host.conf set to: order hosts,bind as well, so it checks hosts first.) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Colin Jenkins Sent: Saturday, 20 October 2001 3:58 PM To: linux-newbi group Subject: [newbie] localhost Hello all, Just did a reinstall of lm80, and in Konqueror, when I select Local Network I get the error 'could not connect to host localhost' I can ping lm80 from windows and using samba can access all shares from windows. ================================================================ Colin Jenkins ICQ: 650611 registered linux user 223862 If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, obviously you have no conception of the magnitude of the problem. ================================================================
