Anyway, I think my problem has to do with the 192.168.1.1 from my old /etc/hosts. I don't see where that IP is ever relevant in my system. I use dhcpcd and when I run ifconfig, the output is inet addr: 192.168.1.101 (has also been 102, 103, 104), bcast: 192.168.1.255, netmask: 255.255.255.0.
192.168 is a designated private prefix. Are you behind a router? If so, then the router has a built-in DHCP server which assigns addresses to your local network. Your setup seems to be that the given addresses begin at 192.168.1.101. I'm guessing your router is internally 192.168.1.1. Externally, that address is provided by your ISP. So, in your case, you should be able to put 192.168.1.101 blytheworks.rblythe.prv as a valid address. Although, I'm confused about how a domain name is registered on a LAN. I think that's configured in the DHCP server (the router). If you have net-tools installed, what is the output of `dnsdomainname'? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
