puh, shooting into the dark... Yes, you have a DNS problem. I had the same, time and time ago. Nice, frust driving website. ;-) There are more than one file involved in networking. There is /etc/nsswitch.conf. The relevant entry is ... hosts: files dns ... There used to be a different file for the elder resolver library. The *excelent* DNS howto mentiones it. Maybe it's worth to look into that, since you run a DNS on 192.168.0.1 as well... ;-) Argh. I think it was service.switch, with the entry ... order hosts bind ... (or similar) All the above tells to look first into the hosts file then ask dns. Juergen
First, thanks for the replies jb & Don. /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 mynetmax.net netmax #Internet server 192.168.0.3 linuxbox.net linuxbox #SuSE 7.0 Samba 192.168.0.8 bizibox2.net bizibox2 #Win98
/etc/resolv.conf
search mynetmax.net navix.net nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 207.91.5.20 #this is my dial-up ISP
/etc/resolv.conf SuSEconfig
search localhost mynetmax.net navix.net linuxbox.net nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 207.91.5.20 nameserver 192.168.0.3
As you can see there is no entry for localhost.com. Also last night I took the machine names out of the server and changed all the machines names back to as they were in 6.4........no difference. This is why I am confused. I did notice while posting this that I do not have my ISP listed in /etc/hosts. I don't recall doing this before, but it is one more thing I can try. So this is basically what I have. Somethin's screwy. Appreciate the help. Tom

Post what is in /etc/hosts, and resolv files.
There should be "localhost" but not "localhost.com".
It's looking for a non-local name.
