a network warning occurs when log in


when I log in redhat9, an warning occurs:

Could look up Internet address for 32.79.193.202.in-addr.arpa.
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly.It maybe possible to correct the problem by adding 32.79.193.202.in-addr.arpa to the file /etc/hosts.

how to cancel this warning?
any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a DNS problem

what is the output of
cat /etc/hosts and cat /etc/resolv.conf

hosts should contain
127.0.0.1 localhost localdomain localhost
resolv.conf should contain the correct nameservers.

the ouput of "cat /etc/hosts and cat /etc/resolv.conf" is showing below:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 cricket-desktop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

****************************************

search gliet.cn


nameserver 202.193.64.33
nameserver 202.103.243.112


************************************************************
the nameservers are both correct



any help would be appreciated.

I found that the address "32.79.193.202" in the warning string is the reverse order of my IP "202.193.79.32"

hope this would help.
