So much for my soapbox. I have the same problem. I have the following line in my /etc/hosts file and also in /etc/hosts.bak: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Everything is fine until I connect to the Internet. Then everything quits working and I have to log out and log back in getting the error message that Gnome can't find DHCP-(whatever) and I start getting bugs in various items. However, my Internet service works fine. Upon finishing with the Internet, I have to re-boot the entire system to get back to normal. -- Lloyd Hayes <lloyd545220-trucker@xxxxxxxxx>
