Personally I find tmdns more trouble than it is worth and always stop the service and remove this entry. > [UnChecked] Track network card id ( useful for laptops ) > [Checked] Network Hotplugging > [Checked] Start at boot > Button = Advanced - selected dhcp-client > Host name (optional) | Snapafun.con | > Zeroconf Host name | Snapafun | This will start tmdns which as I mentioned earlier is more trouble than it is worth. > Selected 'Yes' to restart network > > NOTE: Went to webmin to see what I could do and discovered that I do not > have dhcpd installed ?????? dhcpd is the **server** daemon to hand out IP addresses.

You have 2 IP addresses with the same aliases (Snapafun.con Snapafun) The purpose of the hosts file is provide a mapping between an IP address and a meaningful name (or names) without having to consult a DNS server. Its hardly a map if every street has the same name. Nor should you be declaring 127.0.0.1 as an alias of 192.168.1.1 But this mess is not going to stop networking operating on your computer. It just means if you type http://Snapafun.con into a browser it will not know what IP address to translate to. Your hosts file should look something like :- 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 router.con router 192.168.1.10 Snapafun.con Snapafun SnapafunFrank > And............ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network > HOSTNAME=Snapafun.con > NETWORKING=yes > GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 > I assume 192.168.1.1 is your router. It might be worth adding the line GATEWAYDEV=eth0 and then restart networking with 'service network restart' > So, any more thoughts anyone ? Yes - Is shorewall running?, and if it is what is in /etc/shorewall/interfaces (just the bottom lines not all the comments) Your previous attempts may have left another interface defined as the interface to the internet ('net') and so the firewall may be blocking traffic. If it is wrong correct it and then 'shorewall restart' Or you may prefer to completely disable the firewall in mcc to remove it from the equation. And what does 'ifconfig' show? derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
