X-Windows complains about invalid hostname. Give more details about 192.168.1.1. What kind of DNS server is it? What domains does it serve? What hosts does it know about? How is DHCP configured? What values does it serve? What do "nslookup SOMEHOSTNAME" queries return? What is in the machine's /etc/hosts file? What does the "hostname -a" command return? What is it its /etc/resolv.conf file? What is in all its files /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*? What do "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -nr" return? -- Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) - Linux 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 loadavg: 2.76 1.61 1.39 -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
