Hello,
I am having problems with the netconfiguration of my system. When I boot,
I am told that katya.jnsm.com is unreachable. I have no full-time
connection to the internet. I only have a PPP account with an ISP
that allocates me a dynamic IP address. When I finger user names
user@localhost,
everything is fine. When I finger at katya (the name I decided to give
my lone machine on my selfpointing network)
user@katya,
the connection hangs. The following are my /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts/
and the Netconfig portions of my /etc/sysconfig files. I was hoping
if somebody could tell me if they are approprite for my trivial (single
machine) network. I would like to be able to use sendmail and my PPP
(dynamically assigned IP address) account. Even if only localhost
can exist and not katya, this is fine.
Thank You,
J. Metcalf
