I installed Etch on a stand-alone workstation which is the sole host on a local network and has Internet access through a hardware firewall.
I have a MB ethernet chip, but am using a NIC card. Before the card was eth0, but with installation of Etch on a new disk, it apparently changed to eth1. I can't mail out with rmail or Wanderlust because the host's IP address can't be found: In exim4/mainlog when I use rmail: 2007-04-28 06:55:20 1HhkaF-0000qy-WE <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=brownh P=local S=448 2007-04-28 06:55:20 1HhkaF-0000qy-WE no IP address found for host [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-04-28 06:55:20 1HhkaF-0000qy-WE == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost defer (-1): lookup of host "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" failed in smarthost router /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 teufel.localdomain teufel ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts $ host hartford-hwp.com hartford-hwp.com has address 64.227.154.66 hartford-hwp.com mail is handled by 5 inbound.registeredsite.com. $ netstat -rn teufel Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.111.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.111.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 In /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 In /etc/nsswitch.conf, I have: ... hosts: files dns networks: files ...
