Hi,
I just tracked this exact problem down.
For an example, my server is samwise.kazoocmh.org
You should be able to ping the hostname successfully. In my case
#ping samwise
should work, and should show the network interface IP address.
Here are the important entries in my config files:
/etc/rc.conf contains the line
hostname="samwise.kazoocmh.org"
/etc/hosts contains
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.kazoocmh.org samwise.kazoocmh.org
/etc/resolv.conf contains the lines:
domain kazoocmh.org
and
nameserver 10.11.1.3
The nameserver listed should be able to resolve your hostname. Or, you can
let /etc/hosts handle the resolution by adding a line:
10.11.1.52 samwise samwise.kazoocmh.org
Obviously, use your own hostnames and IP addresses.
Good luck.
