Hi, I have the well-known problem with Openoffice which does a dns-lookup when you launch it or open a document. This is taking a long time (half minute) and I think the problem is some mistakes with localdomain, etc on my computer. By the way, I am on a dialup connection. I have a domain name and an IP adress, but all this for my private local network. IP : 192.168.0.1 / Domain name : AAA OO is making a DNS-lookup , using the DNS server of my dialup connection, to try to find my private domain-name AAA. >From Ethereal : (UDP) DNS Standard Query : localhost.AAA DNS Standard Query Response : No such name My /etc/hosts : # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 192.168.0.1 P4.AAA 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain I know I write something wrong, or I missed something. But where ? Thanks to help me ;-) Philippe -- Philippe, Chiangmai, Thailand(e)
