Well, you definitely shouldn't have the 10.0.0.10 line as above - the 127.0.0.1 line is correct, and should be the only localhost line, AFAIK. I would suggest something on the order of: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.0.0.10 nickname.you.made.up nickname And then set the box's hostname in /etc/sysconfig/networking thusly: HOSTNAME="nickname.you.made.up" DOMAINNAME="you.made.up" If need be, you could also add a line: DHCP_HOSTNAME="whatever.your.isp.calls.your.system" if your dhcp-client/dhcpcd requests (to your ISP) bomb without it ... if you don't use dhcp for connecting to DSL, this bit doesn't apply to you. Then execute at a root prompt: service network restart service cups restart This will probably sort out cups; let us know if it does. You can also set the hostname explicitly in the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file, as the error indicates, but you should fix /etc/hosts anyway, as cups is not all that may choke (to one extent or another) on the current setup. -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "Giving money and power to the government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." - P.J.
