In a nutshell: in /etc/sysconfig you have to set the hostname=host.domain This name should also be in /etc/hosts like: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn host.domain You should have a network interface that is set up correctly to one of the defaults. You can check this looking at the output of the dmesg command. See if your network card has been recognized. The listed irq is the assumed default value. Your card setting has to math this value. You can type /kernel -c at the bootprompt to change the values of your network card in the kernel. E.g.: /kernel -c port ed0 0x300 irq ed0 10 iomem ed0 0xc8000 > > Regards, > ramin@rolta.com > --Chris Christoph P. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
