I'm having a problem when starting gnome. GDM starts flawlessly (sp?) but then after I type the user and password, i get this: Could not look up internet address for mightyone. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding mightyone to the file /etc/hosts. *where mightyone is my computer. the /etd/host file is this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Also... I have 2 ethernet cards, eth0 and eth1. eth1 is the one included with the motherboard and is also the one that it's connected to my cable modem. So during startup I only activate eth1. eth0 is almost all of the time inactive.. don't know what to do.. that is all the info I can think of giving so someone can help me.. the question is.. can anyone help me? thanks in advance, Rigo __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
