Just a basic question. I have a static IP address from my dialup ISP. I
have the same setup for some years and am curious about the best way to
setup /etc/hosts with a static ip. Now I have this defined:
127.0.0.1 localhost
207.167.85.183 mperry.basin.com mperry
The 207 number only applies when I dialup. I read the that the 127.0.0.1
should not have a nickname or alias because of sendmail issues. So how
should I list my static IP address when I dialup? I get the same IP every
time and my machine is named the same each time I dialup. I've been with
this ISP for 5 years now.
Yast put in a 127.0.0.2 which was listed as:
127.0.0.2 mperry.basin.com mperry
I added the last one. So tcpip gurus; which way should I do the hosts?
Thanks. This is one of those midnight questions that hit early... :)
