Hello, I seem to be stuck - as usual, please help :-(
Problem Name resolution is not occurring. Tried to surf to a web site such as www.slug.org.au and can not, Netscape advised address can not be found. But if I obtain the ip address of the web site off another pc 138.25.7.4 then I can surf to it. Suspect that my host name is incorrect. my /etc/hosts file reads 127.0.0.1 firewall localhost.localdomain localhost I think there should be something else in this file but am not sure what it should read. P.S pc name is firewall. tried to configure network card using network configure under KDE and add a host name into the hostname field but no success, well the field does not seem to be populated with the information that I add and save. currently the nic is set to optain an ip address from a dhcp server but I have tried this with a static ip and same problem. the ip routing table reads Destination Gateway Genmask Flag MSS Window irtt iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 Looked at the howto's and the RH CG, GSG, IG, and RG doco's but no success. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. thanks -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
