Jza Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Hi since I change my conection from DHCP to regular hostname, ip, gateway.... I have had some problems. I used the connectDrake GUI wizard. I put a localhost.localdomain name, next time I try to start with GNOME a message telling me that I should edit the /etc/hosts So far so good, I did that however several things have just not being working right. First of all is my printer, no errors, just simply process the job and then aborts. Even cops have trouble redirecting me to the WWW admin tool. Later my XMMS / LinuxConf / Others dont start saying that they cant find the libgtk+1.2.so.0 library. Which is in /usr/lib/ folder. So as you can see I have plenty of things to re-set up.. I wonder if someone have any experience on this type of things. I tried tlooking for previous questions since it seems such a simple and usual thing (to change hostanems) but for some reason I couldnt find anything at least in this chat.

Cannonfodder Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Here's a fax on changing the host name from DHCP to your preferred host name. Try following this and see if it corrects any issues.. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=5083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jza Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Well I did follow the manual and I guess it got worst now since now NO app is running except for opera which was running from before, not even the terminal laucher will launch it. I guess is now looking for localhost.localdmain instead of the name I gave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 REBOOT You can do just about anything in Linux without rebooting but the HOSTNAME is definately not one of them. Definitively. Have you a) created an entry in /etc/hosts B) tried giving your PC the same hostname it was being allocated in DHCP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
