DNS, CNAME conflicts in logs
 

I've recently installed a bootstrapped Suse 8.1 system, and I've installed Apache 1.3. The system is behind a hardware ADSL router/switch running a DHCP server

I can access the web server using h ttp://localhost/ , but I cannot access it anymore with h ttp://hostname/ from anywhere on the network. The network seems to work in regard to file-sharing. The firewall is turned off, "telnet hostname 80" fails with connection refused, and "ping hostname" works fine from anywhere on the network.

I get some strange messages post modifying /etc/syslog.conf

--> May 11 17:11:55 hostname mozilla-bin: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "hostname.gateway in AAAA", got type "A"

this seems to be slightly out of my depth -- it may have to do with a faulty DNS configuration, but I am not familiar enough with this to find out any configuration files or diagnostic information.

Thanks for any help,

/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(IP of your DNS)

Make sure your gateway is set to the right address. Type 'yast' to configure the network card.
