Gordon,
My hosts file contains entries for local nodes that are not listed in
any DNS. For example:
192.168.1.11 lionjet.protogeek.org lionjet
is the entry for my Epson Stylus Color 980N. Another:
192.168.1.2 lion.protogeek.org lion
192.168.1.100 lion-wxp.protogeek.org wxp
is the entries for a SMP forensic workstation running RHEL4/ES, and a
Windows XP guest OS running in a VMware virtual machine on that host.
After upgrading to FC4, I was unable to print from my 'lioness' laptop
until I changed the JetDirect printer configuration from 'lionjet' to
'192.168.1.11'. I can no longer check connectivity to my gateway router
with a 'ping gw'. I have to use 'ping 192.168.1.1' instead.
