I cannot seem to be able to even ping any other machine on the network. I do telnet localhost. I get localhost: Host name lookup failure. I tried telnet 127.0.0.1. It waits for some time and then says: telnet: unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out . My /etc/hosts file reads like this : 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain Also when i restarted my machine, it waits for 5-10 minutes after coming to the Sendmail process and then finally reboots. Could you please help me out as I am not able to do anything about this for 2 days now. Help truly appreciated. Thanks Suhail. - Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
