The Perfect 10.04 Server instructions say to make the etc/hosts file look like this: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.100 server1.example.com server1 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters I'm not sure exactly what "look like this" means. Here's mine: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 mammy.ec.rr.com mammy # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters Do I do this?: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.voodoonet localhost 192.168.0.194 mammy.ec.rr.com mammy # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters Mammy is my server, voodoonet is may local network name, I'm on roadrunner so ec.rr.com refers to my time warner ISP
None of the above, waht you use is this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.194 mammy.ec.rr.com mammy # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
