Hi, An easier way to stop SuSEConfig altering /etc/hosts is to edit /etc/rc.config locate the line CHECK_ETC_HOSTS="yes" and change it to CHECK_ETC_HOSTS="no" and SuSEConfig will not alter the /etc/hosts file again.

Pep,
I take it that SuSE changes the IP address back, after you finished running SuSEConfig!!
If you take a look at the main file "SuSEConfig", use:
whereis SuSEConfig
you can then edit this file using an editor, since the file is simply a bourne script.
Do a search for "ifconfig". Hopefully you should then be able to work out whats going on, and how 127.0.0.2 is being changed.
You can then uncomment out the bits that are causing the problem.
Failing that, you might have to add an entry to "boot.local" that adds a string to "/etc/hosts" to manually add the hostname.
HTH,
