//hostname is not really a DNS name. Windows will first try a WINS lookup, and then try a DNS lookup after appending your default search domain. It's quite likely that either your host is not registered in the DNS or that you have not set your default search domain properly. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
