I came across a strange error in Netscape and while starting GNOME. I installed named a while back and it runs without (apparent) problems. I also connect to the internet through a firewall using @home. When GNOME starts it presents an odd message. Here's what my /etc/hosts file looks like: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 suse1.timh suse1 ;every day Linux computer 192.168.0.2 su2.timh su2 ;my firewall 192.168.0.4 w95.timh w95 ;guess 192.168.0.5 fj.timh fj ;fujitsu laptop running Linux xx.xxx.x.xxx fw.timh fw ;masked, my @home static ip through my firewall. use1 is the Linux computer I use everyday. Anyway, the GNOME dialog box on initialization says something about "can't find internet address suse1. GNOME may not work properly," then suggests I add it to /etc/hosts, which doesn't make sense. If I elect to continue GNOME runs normally. I wouldn't take it seriously except Netscape periodically pops up the same message when I access a new web page.
