I know Redhat by defaults sets the hostname to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), but that usually causes some strangeness. I would say that it should be set to the interface with the default route. For example if your default router is 192.168.0.1 I would point it to the 192.168.0.0 address. -- William Hooper The reason that God was able to create the world in seven days is that he didn't have to worry about the installed base. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
