poor praedor had a whole saga with this last year and now i have the same

[root@mycroft bascule]# hostname
mycroft
[root@mycroft bascule]# hostname -d

Edit the file network... from then on whatever you put in the hostname

I am about to re-configure a simple Class C network of Win98
machines/Linux server to give the Win machines access to the
internet. I'll be using Postfix as a collection/relay point to relay
