Hi Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
I edited my both the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts to include the line 'hostname 142.135.134.154' of course, that's not my real ip addy. Am i suppose to edit these files? or did you mean to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file. THe /etc/sysconfig/network file already had the proper hostname entry in it, so i left it at that. >and after that to do final check, just run : hostname ... till it shows you >your real_host_name, if it doesn't just mail me :D when i type, hostname, i still just get my own ip addy shown to me. Do i have to reboot, or reinitialize some variables. THanks a bunch for you help. It's greatly apprecaited.
