I now have another query, which I think is related. I use my laptop both on a network, with a fixed IP address at work, and at home and on the move via dial-up using dynamically assigned IP addresses. I have problems with this;
When I'm on the network, as now, I can't seem to send emails outside of the domain. If this doesn't appear on the list I'll resend it from an adjacent windows machine ;-) Maybe my newly configured network names will help? When I am on dial-up I have to boot interactively and answer "no" to the "start up network services?" question. If I don't do that I can connect with KOP but the applications mail, browsers, etc. can't see the network. What are the correct settings so that both dial-up PPP and the network will work without manual interaction at boot? Anthony E. Greene gave two different configurations for /etc/hosts. How could they be used, are two different configurations necessary? Cheers and thanks Chris Harris 8 Pioneer Row Stanley Falkland Islands P.S -> The original msg. didn't appear on the list in 30 minutes so I am resending from the windows box. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
