Dynamic IP settings works perfectly > without delay. what should I do next? Set HOSTNAME= in /etc/sysconfig/network to be something like "webcomp.home.locallan". Then adjust the corresponding line in /etc/hosts to be 192.168.1.2 webcomp.home.locallan webcomp Sendmail will be lucky again using 192.168.1.2 as your static IP. Alexander
I added the required line and now its working perfectly. Thanks a lot for the help. I don't know how it is deleted because I never touched the files myself. I used the "Network Configuration" grapical tool and I can't remember deleting any entries there? Thanks again :-)
