I'm having a problem with my RH6.2 box. If I'm trying to ftp into it from my
Windows box while I"m online (via an ethernet based ISDN router) I often have
troubles logging in. I've got that machine name and IP address in the
/etc/hosts file, but it seems like it can't resolve the IP of that machine. I'm
*guessing* that it's trying to look it up via the DNS server, but can't and is
failing. How do I tell it to check the local /etc/hosts file FIRST for all
incoming connections?
Thanks...
John
