I believe the MS proxy is socks. I'm not sure Linux can do it that way. Why not use the Linux box with squid as the proxy server, I think it's better than the MS proxy. As far as changing the hostname it's kept in '/etc/sysconfig/netowrk' that's where you should change it first then change the hosts files. I don't even have '/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts' so I don't know where that came from, maybe a GUI tool. -----Original Message----- From: Harish Sabnani [mailto:harish.sabnani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2003 11:20 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Network Problem-solved..Now another problem Hi, I can really be dumb at times,i forgot abt the Iptables :( Anyways now I have another issue,I am not able to change my hostname,I have changed entries in the /etc/hosts file but each time I reboot it gets back the old hostname, I have also deleted the file /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts! Pls suggest where else I have to look. My Windows machines access Internet thru MS proxy server, can Linux work if i just give the default gateway of the proxy which is 10.10.10.1?Pls let me know!
