But as I gathered you're using a M$ Windows client. Your telnet session is it setup using the IP-address (as you state above), or as the domainname corresponding to that ip-address ?). > In stead of doing this edit your /etc/hosts file and and put > your machine > name in the file plus the coreesponding IP. i.e > machinename.domain.com 192.x.x.x machinename > This will be enoughtto solve your problem. don't forget to check whether in your /etc/nsswitch.conf you have a line stating hosts: files dns otherwise your /etc/hosts file won't be checked. The /etc/hosts mentioned by ksemat can also be used in M$Windows 9x by editing c:\windows\hosts.sam and c:\windows\lmhosts.sam in the same way OR for M$WinNT4x in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.sam ******* Groetjes vanwege ***** Greetings From ******* Dieter Demerre - http://www.angelfire.com/de/ddemerre ddemerre@acm.org - ext.dieter.demerre@siemens.be Although this private and confidential e-mail has been sent to you through a personal Siemens account, it does NOT represent any official opinion of Siemens.
