Constantine, I believe you can just add an entry to /etc/hosts to specify the hostname for your box. Something like: 192.168.0.2 constantine constantine.domainname.com. Just make sure your sytstem is searching the hosts file before DNS (in /etc/host.conf, hosts is above bind). man hosts man host.conf Joey >From: Constantine <cnst@rbcmail.ru> >To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: hostname on LAN with WAN >Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2003 21:09:24 -0400 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from mx2.freebsd.org ([216.136.204.119]) by >mc2-f26.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Sat, 2 Aug >2003 18:11:20 -0700 >Received: from hub.freebsd.org (hub.freebsd.org [216.136.204.18])by >mx2.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPid 62A4A561F9; Sat, 2 Aug 2003 >18:10:06 -0700 (PDT)(envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org) >Received: from hub.freebsd.org (localhost [127.0.0.1])by hub.freebsd.org >(Postfix) with ESMTPid 4867D37B401; Sat, 2 Aug 2003 18:10:06 -0700 (PDT) >Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125])by >hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1E58237B401for ><freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>;Sat, 2 Aug 2003 18:09:58 -0700 (PDT) >Received: from swan.mail.pas.earthlink.net >(swan.mail.pas.earthlink.net[207.217.120.123])by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) >with ESMTP id B3AC443FD7for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>;Sat, 2 Aug >2003 18:09:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from cnst@rbcmail.ru) >Received: from user14.net550.nc.sprint-hsd.net >([65.40.235.14]helo=rbcmail.ru)by swan.mail.pas.earthlink.net with esmtp >(Exim 3.33 #1)id 19j7Nl-0003np-00; Sat, 02 Aug 2003 18:09:57 -0700 >X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jEHjJx36Oi8+YDSEg8qKPPD >Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Message-ID: <3F2C60C4.8030307@rbcmail.ru> >User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB;rv:1.4) >Gecko/20030624 >X-Accept-Language: en-gb, ru, en-us, en >X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 >Precedence: list >List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> >List-Unsubscribe: ><http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>,<mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe>; >List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions>; >List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> >List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> >List-Subscribe: ><http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>,<mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe>; >Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Errors-To: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Return-Path: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 03 Aug 2003 01:11:20.0366 (UTC) >FILETIME=[25DDC4E0:01C3595C] > >Hello! > >I am using my FreeBSD 4.8 in a local network, I do not have any routable >IPs assigned to the box, so what am I supposed to use as a hostname for >that FreeBSD box? > >I have an internet connection (DSL modem with NAT), and I am using the >sendmail on the box, and the problem I have, is that during the boot time I >need to wait 2 minutes for the DNS-timeout. >I wanted to ask, how the hostname is meant to be set in my case. > >Cheers, >Constantine. > >maillog: >Aug 1 14:52:57 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: My unqualified host name (cnst) >unknown; sleeping for retry >Aug 1 14:53:57 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: unable to qualify my own domain >name (cnst) -- using short name >Aug 1 14:53:57 cnst sm-msp-queue[103]: starting daemon (8.12.8p1): >queueing@00:30:00 >Aug 2 14:41:22 cnst sm-mta[99]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; >sleeping for retry >Aug 2 14:42:22 cnst sm-mta[99]: unable to qualify my own domain name >(cnst) -- using short name >Aug 2 14:42:22 cnst sm-mta[100]: starting daemon (8.12.8p1): >SMTP+queueing@00:30:00 > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to >"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
