I know that it it trivial but it is driving me nuts anyway. Perhaps someone out there can give me a clue.
My isp calls itself quality.qadas.com. If I set up my /etc/hosts as quality.qadas.com, I can resolve it using qadas.com without adding quality but I can't get mail. If I set it up just using qadas.com, I can't resolve using just qadas.com but I can get my mail. On this dual boot machine, the Windows tcp/ip set up looks something like this: host: quality domaine: qadas.com xxx.xxx.xx.x xxx.xxx.xx.x xxx.xxx.xx.x my /etc/hosts looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain xxx.xxx.xx.x qadas.com xxx.xxx.xx.x qadas.com xxx.xxx.xx.x qadas.com With the setup above, I can't resolve qadas.com but I can get mail When I change my /etc/hosts to: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain xxx.xxx.xx.x quality.qadas.com xxx.xxx.xx.x quality.qadas.com xxx.xxx.xx.x quality.qadas.com I can resolve qadas.com without the www but I can't get mail. I am running RedHat 6.0 What must be done so that I can have my cake and eat it too? Where would I put the host name as it is done in Windows?
