No takers. I added a line to my /etc/hosts file specifying that 127.0.0.1 was localhost, and that seemed to fix postfix and NFS starts up ok now. But I still have no access to the internet. eth0 boots just fine, too. Now that there are no error messages at all but I *still* can't access the internet, I guess I'll just have to reinstall. Being an ex-MS user, at least it's a familiar routine... ;-) Marc -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list **********CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE********** The information contained in this e-mail may be confidential and/or privileged and is intended for the sole use of the individual or organization named above.
