Hi All,

/etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

/etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search BigPond
nameserver 10.0.0.138

[ozboy@home-hehbbzsuy7 sysconfig]$ hostname
home-hehbbzsuy7

The /etc/resolv.conf settings are correct. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
