If that is so, you have 2 problems. 1. nslookup doesn't reference data in the hosts file. It only does a DNS query. 192.168.0.18 nickel nickel.greshko.com [egreshko@meimei hidenet]$ nslookup nickel Server: 192.168.0.55 Address: 192.168.0.55#53 ** server can't find nickel: NXDOMAIN Is expected.... 2. You have israel.risingstar.local in your hosts file. Therefore the "host" name is israel and the domain part is risingstar.local Programs such as ping and ssh will consult the hosts file. Sooo...... [egreshko@meimei ~]$ ping israel.risingstar.local PING israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms 64 bytes from israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.034 ms 64 bytes from israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18): icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.030 ms So.... change the line in you /etc/hosts if you want a hostname of risingstar. 192.168.1.84 risingstar -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
