Thanks,
hang on....frazmtn.com links to Frazier Mountain Internet Service
is this you or your ISP?
frazmtn.com is my ISP. I have a couple if fixed IPs, one of which is
hosted as sagebrush.frazmtn.com.
have you thought of having an internal dns setup? For the relaying to
work you'd need to have a dns record for the workstation and at the
moment this machine is not 'resolvable'.
Why don't you just give a hostname that is not a fqdn if you don't run a
DNS server?

OK, so if I just set the hostname to 'knute' then what do I want in my
hosts file, /etc/hosts file and in my /etc/sysconfig/network files?
Thanks,
assuming the machine has a static IP (on your LAN)
/etc/hosts looks like
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
<your IP> knute
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=knute

Some programs may like to have a defined domain name. For my nonroutable
home network, I use localdomain as the domain name (IIRC, a reserved name
for nonroutable domains). Thus:
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
<your IP> knute knute.localdomain
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=knute.localdomain
It's possible that may resolve some DNS lookup issues, though I'm not
guaranteeing anything.
