I'm baffled, though, what IP numbers have to do CDROMs. in linux, you are really looking in the entire world to see if a file is available. you are not looking in for /home/document/bigone.fish/icons/trout, as the rest of the "root" is implied as "localhost.localdomain/home/document/bigone.fish/icons/trout, but, it looks in the hosts file aftere looking up the name of the computer, since you don't really have to have "localhost.localdomain localhost", since the alias of localhost can be defined elsewhere. real problem here is why would you want the world as an open door?
bottom line is that a correct host file is needed to get your computer to look in the correct places, adn to close the outside INternet OUT. remove the line "172.25.1.1 topoi.pooq.com topoi" save the file, and restart the network,,, right now > > What IP did you give for your nic? > > Two network interface cards: one for the outside world, which has > pppoe running on it through a DSL modem, and whose IP number is > supposed to be irrelevant (and which I suspect has been set to > 10.0.0.10 by some agent in the Mandrake installation code), and > one for the LAN, which is 172.25.1.1. > > The IP number that the pppoe link provides is fixed as 216.138.195.194, > but of course that's only valid after the link is up. > > Right now I don't have a DNS running on Mandrake yet.
