Hoyt, My /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - which defines my local network, yours _should look somewhat similar, being in mind that the ip numbers may be different. [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.5 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ My local loopback network (ipcfg-lo) is defined like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo DEVICE=lo IPADDR=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 # If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian, # you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example) BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes NAME=loopback [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ Yours should not be any different. This is what I have in /etc/sysconfig/network [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=pilot.localhost.localdomain NETWORKING=yes GATEWAY= [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ And is what I would expect to see in yours, There's something not right about your network setup (not wrong, just not right). In just about every network setup I've seen HOSTNAME has been configured as above ie. the name of the machine on the local network Have you considered re-running the network configuration from Mandrake Control Centre for both your local network and your DSL setup now that you have the parameters supplied by your ISP I don't have DSL (only dial-up) and my etc/ppp/resolv.conf contains ONLY the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/ppp/resolv.conf nameserver 203.97.33.14 nameserver 203.97.37.14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ While /etc/resolv.conf contains: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search clear.net.nz localhost.localdomain nameserver 203.97.33.14 nameserver 203.97.37.14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ All of this stuff is initially setup when you do your network settings during installation. On my system /etc/resolv.conf is changed at every use, with what appears to be the content of /etc/ppp/resolv.conf being appended with a couple of blank lines then a commented line which says something like: "# Temporary PPP," and then the content of /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. The appended part is removed when I disconnect. See if this helps any to nail it down, although I think re-running your network configuration wizards might be simpler than trying hit and miss edits to config files. But in saying this bear in mind what Tom Brinkman showed you in his responses in another part of this thread. Cheers John
