Sorry if I came across like Barney on Andy Griffith. This one little machine is it here at wayward4now.net. Nothing fancy, just this machine hooked to a DSL modem, with BellSouth.net and I have a static IP address. hostname: iam.wayward4now.net <---<chuckles at cutesy name> domainname: wayward4now.net static IP: 70.145.234.214 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 65.14.234.23 search dns: dns.asm.bellsouth.net primary DNS: 205.152.37.23 secondary : 205.152.132.23 This stuff is a piece of cake. I can eat therein. But, the whirlygig network setup thingie keeps adding hostnames to the localhost line in hosts. I edit it out, it may come up, it may not. I still haven't found bind-config and rpm sez I don't have it installed (that bugzilla report) When I try to de-activate eth0 more often than not, it won't. So, I go back into the DSL modem, set it back to not-pasthrough, crank up DHCP on this end and now I can email. I STILL get DNS lookup failures though, even with DHCP! WTF? Regularly. I have the NetWork Manager and NetWork Dispatcher running. Look at this, it's BACK! [root@iam etc]# more hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost iam.wayward4now.net Shouldn't there be a 192.168.0.X entry here? Do I add that? I though all this housekeeping was taken care of, or am I just confused here? Of Course, I want to get back to static IP land, but I figure I need to fix this first. Jeeez... I am down again, this email might make it out though... gonna hit the send button.
