Fedora 2 and /etc/hosts...
FC2 doesn't seem to have set itself up correctly upon install....it wants me to add the physical address of my etherlink card to /etc/hosts...? (Here I am frustrated and using WinSucks, again...)
RH9 demanded the same, ages ago, and I did it and everything worked fine ( but I forget the exact edit of /etc/hosts that achieved it...). At present my /etc/hosts contains only; __________________________ #(you know) #(etc) 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain hostname localhost __________________________ Where do I insert the x1-6-00-etc...? Thanks, folks...-Allen (newbie all over again) |
Are you sure it's in the /etc/hosts ?
If you refer to the MAC address as physical adress then it's entered in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-cardname so in the case we are talking about eth0 it's in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 In this file you shall enter HWADDR=XX:YY:ZZ.... where XX:YY:ZZ...... ist your MAC address |
