RE: Fixed it... New issues
This is normal for Gnome, I get it all the time. On my system I just set up a hostname (it doesn't bother the cable modem) and added the host name to my 127.0.0.1 line in the /etc/hosts. so you'll have something like 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain mypc -Original Message-From: Dean MacIsaac Jr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 8:54 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Fixed it...

Could not look up internet address for x1-6-00-80-ad-01-11-fa This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly it may be possible to correct the problem by adding x1-6-00-80-ad-01-11-fa to the file /etc/hosts.

In my most sinister voice... Reaalyy SWEET! Really! Visit http://www.mnbasset.org and http://www.bundlesoflove.org - both are virtual servers running on my Linux system hiding behind my Linksys. The e-mail address I'm posting from is hosted on the same server. I use http://www.zoneedit.com as a *free* DNS hosting service that allows dynamic DNS updates - a process on my Linux system periodically polls the firewall looking for IP address changes. If it changes, it sends out dynamic DNS updates to zoneedit so the names keep on working. One of these days I'll actually get around to documenting it all on my web server on how it's done so that people can read and find it and so that I don't have to keep typing it in :-) .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
