I made a silly mistake when installing FreeBSD 4.2 <sigh> When confronted with the network setup, I assumed 'host' was the main computer in my small crossover network - WRONG! The result was that I had two computers, both with the same name and address! OK, so I visited every file I could find in /etc and inserted the CORRECT names and addresses. However, though I can now ping 1 from 2, 2 still retains the wrong name (see prompt) and still refuses to be pinged by 1, saying that 1 is using its address! Clearly that second unit has its name and address stored somewhere where I am not looking - but WHERE, please? -- Regards, Brian ******************************************************** Dr Brian Astill Visiting Research Fellow Flinders University Institute of International Education ******************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
