Any ideas how I can reset my machine name like it was before? Could you temporarily change the host name with the host command and recover the document?

Then change the hosts file and reboot. however, I would look over the entire network configuration to make sure nothing else got borked. I tried that, and although the prompt looks correct int he xterm window,

When I start oocalc from within this xterm window, it still gives me the error.
I found my document in openoffice's backup: ~/.ooo3/user/backup
So that's not an issue. Now I'm just trying to understand what is going on. Whenever I modify the hosts file, it gets changed on reboot, but not just changed back to an original file. If I add: 127.0.0.2 machine-name.mydomain.com machine-name
It gets change to: 127.0.0.2 localhost.localdomain localhost
I'll try adding it multiple times and see what happens. It's just very strange. Nothing else seems out of whack. I got my normal reserved ip address from dhcp, and the other settings seem fine.
Thanks, James
I would look around in the network configuration. You said you use network manager. That may be writing something everytime it starts network services. It's been a while since I used that, but there is an option to use traditional ifup if I recall. Also there is an option to not write to hosts file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
