But then again, opening the /etc/hosts file I see this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost At first I erase this line, replaces it with the hostname I want, then restart my network using the command [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /sbin/service network restart Stenger ned grensesnitt eth0: [ OK ] Stenger ned loopback-grensesnitt: [ OK ] Setter parametre for nettverk: [ OK ] Bringer opp loopback-grensesnitt: [ OK ] Bringer opp grensesnitt eth0: [ OK ] (its norwegian if you whould wonder) Then typing hostname gives my the same old result. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# hostname 062016248092.customer.alfanett.no [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Vegard
