What it did do was to put my FQDN hostname, alias into the 127.0.0.1 host file. I edited the host file to add the line 10.1.0.143 linux.cdkkt.com linux rebooted, and nothing has changed. I noticed that no matter what I tried to do to with Administration->Network tool, the changes are never committed - permenantly even when I asked for changes to be saved. The system remains set into the defaults of: IP: 169.254.208.135 NM: 255.255.0.0 I cannot find the gateway setting using ifconfig. Of course in this case: ipconfig /all in Windows will fail since the network is not properly setup. What can I do to force my settings into the network file configurations?
