That's my computer internal IP number as provided by my router and his internal dhcp server. And this newbie didn't know he was running his own nameserver ;-) All I did was configuring my router the way it should, confirming to the website (the Netherlands btw). And installing Red Hat gives an option like: Network device: eth0 Use dhcp Activate on boot I did use the dhcp and filled in a hostname (Machinehead). That gives this output in: /etc/hosts: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 Machinehead localhost.localdomain localhost /etc/resolv.conf ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 192.168.1.1 BTW...thanks to your first answer makes it possible to connect to the mentioned location in Gftp by using the output of host ftp.mozilla.org. In other words: I can make an connection with 64.12.168.243 -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
