[Fwd: [Fwd: [SLE] Root accesses internet, users don't]]
When starting any kde (any user) there comes a message, briefly b4 XWindows shows up : "hostname : Hostname lookup failure Xanth : (stdin) :2 : bad display name "/unix:0" in add command. Wil it not be the same problem ? (nevertheless KDE starts OK). 0 is reference number of my hostname (machine's , PC's name). Rgds to all Jacek Boboli wrote:
Neither can send mail : doesn't recognize the server. Netscape says also it doesn't recognize the machine (the PC's name) neither internic.net (?)

Well, Adam, I am using kppp. But the dial is OK, I log in with the server as root as well as as user. It is navigating as users that is impossible .

It looks like name resolution is the problem. However, it would help if you
replyed to my last post. :-)
Use YaST2->Network/Basic->Hostname & DNS and enter your ISP's nameservers
under 'Name server list' and add "local" under 'Domain search list'. Your
hostname and domain name will be linux.local unless you've set your own.

well, Martin, (Hello !), with the numbers, it seems it works. I didn't enter Your complete address (impossible to write the sign after ...140/, this is my next problem, I point out, having Alt+number writing caracters). But I got the answer that the enry was not allowed and indicating a port number at Yr server. This seems to mean that at least it works. Wd it be then that the aliasing of the addresses doesn't work ? (hence also that when starting kde I get the formerly mentionned message ? Rgds Jacek

It seems that your dialup connection works but you are unable to resolve
names (you needed the last bit to find my domain but you found the server
anyway). Why can't you type a '/'?
You need to enter the name server(s) IP address to setup your network
correctly. You can do this using YaST:
YaST->System Administration->Network Configuration->Configuration name
server->Yes
Then enter IP addresses of your ISPs nameservers using a space to separate
them, e.g. 194.168.4.100 194.168.8.100 and enter 'local' (without the 's)
under 'Domain list.
