This is from my /etc/hosts file # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain What is the proper way to change this file so that: localhost.localdomain is replaced with something more useful for identification of my FC5 box on my network? Can I just edit this file or is there another location to do this and are there any other files that need to change? What other information can go in the /etc/hosts file? I have tried changing this before but the OS complains when I boot. It says something like unknown host name or can't determine the host name. so I have left this alone. It looks like I will need to change it so I can hopefully get my printer set up for my wife's Win XP box to use. Thanks, -- Jack Gates http://www.morningstarcom.net/
