Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous query with the subject "hostname".
I now have another query, which I think is related. I use my laptop both on a network, with a fixed IP address at work, and at home and on the move via dial-up using dynamically assigned IP addresses. I have problems with this; When I'm on the network, as now, I can't seem to send emails outside of the domain. If this doesn't appear on the list I'll resend it from an adjacent windows machine ;-) Maybe my newly configured network names will help? When I am on dial-up I have to boot interactively and answer "no" to the "start up network services?" question. If I don't do that I can connect with KPPP but the applications mail, browsers, etc. can't see the network. What are the correct settings so that both dial-up PPP and the network will work without manual interaction at boot? Anthony E. Greene gave two different configurations for /etc/hosts. How could they be used, are two different configurations necessary?
