sendmail hangs, seemed to have lost external email and can't browse internet now!
I run redhat enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Kernal 2.6.9-42.ELsmp on an i686).
must have done something? its just that I am such a pathetic novice that I don't even know where to look??? Please help.
Sendmail, browing from netscape (via redhat gui screen).
I recently changed the hostname on my machine ( I changed it from "cubit" to "bullwork"). Then the problem goes... I probably changed a few things - you know, novice tinkering away...
It was working initially, but tonight I did a reboot and noticed sendmail hanging for a few extra minutes on reboot. Then I noticed a httpd error:
Jan 5 21:47:07 bullwork httpd: httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qu
alified domain name, using 192.168.3.15 for ServerName
Also noticed that I can't send and receive emails to the world anymore.
Also, logged in via the Xwindow and noticed that I can no longer browse the internet from there anymore.
Strangely though, I can still bring up the hosted website on that machine from a pc (so the machine is connected to the internet at least for incoming traffic???)
Here is my /etc/hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.3.15 bullwork
here is /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=bullwork
here is /etc/resolve.conf:
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search lan
nameserver 192.168.3.1
What have I done? What can I try (before I pull all of my hair out!!) I'd appreciate the help very much, thanks
Greg. much?
