Sounds like there may be a problem with your /etc/hosts file. In /etc/hosts you can run a "min-DNS server" for lack of a better concept. Every time you try and connect to another machine, it checks that file for the names first. So as root vim /etc/hosts and make sure there aren't more then one edit in there that has, for example: 192.168.1.1 linux linux When configuring a NIC, it will ask you for various information, and when asking for infor on the IP and the machine name, it can duplicate that info in /etc/hosts and cause problems. I've seen it add several: "" linux linux Which if you then try and ping linux it may, or may not find the line that reads "192.168.1.1 linux linux" or """ linux linux." So start there. That's the first thing that comes to mind when reading your problem. It sounds like the webadmin is running if you've gotten there sometimes, and you've been able to view the web page from the http://linux. So start there, that might be helpful. tdh T.
