Did you enter a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) at start of install ? eg. red.teach.net Anyway, to change Hostname- System Settings > Network > DNS > Hostname: at this point, enter a FQDN eg. red.teach.net On closing gui, you'll be asked "Do you want to save changes?" You say "YES" then: /etc/init.d/network restart that should do it... >now instead of being >localhost at login, I'm x1-6-04-4f-00 or something like that, which >happens to be the hw addy of the eth0. How do I change this, or at >least nickname it, to get back to localhost? hth -- Certified Microsoft-free e-mail.
