I found FC6 fouled up the hosts file after I used the network configuration GUI to set the hostname. The loopback line for IPv4 disappeared, leaving just the IPv6 one behind. > My issue is with resolv.conf and the fact that the windows > dns servers are wrong.

How can I duplicate this but keep my static address? man dhclient.conf You can request certain information (e.g. the DNS servers), and set others yourself (e.g. your IP). -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
