For instance, I have an ethernet card set to a static IP address of 192.168.0.1 - and the hostname is "kilgore_trout.kma.com.au" - but on the loopback device, the IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the hostname is "localhost". Confused yet? For me to access either Webmin or anyhting else - CUPS and the likes, I access them via https://192.168.0.1:XXXXXXX - which, for me, makes it all the more easy - besides, I bookmark them for local use anyways. If you're completely unable to get to CUPS or SWAT or Webmin, you might want to double check your httpd settings (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf)...or restart CUPS and HTTPD via the services applet in MCC. ...OR, it could be a subversive action by the Mandrake team to confuse YOUR computer and make it a slave of the growing millions of anarchists collaborating on world domination (oxymoronic smart-assed remark)(grin) Cheers! -- Mon Nov 25 10:30:00 EST 2002 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn Gerrold's Laws of Infernal Dynamics: (1) An object in motion will always be headed in the wrong direction.
