Scarecrow Man Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Here's the exact error:Could not look up internet address for fedora. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the proble by adding fedora to the file /etc/hosts.Log in anyway / Try againfedora is the name of the computer.

korgg Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 He is probably looking for some qualified domain name... eg: mydomain.com.You should just ignore this one since I dont think you'll need to access remotely the graphic interface... And if you would want that you could just use your IP instead :D ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I understand that, my question is.. how do I rid myself of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korgg Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Have you tried adding the following to the /etc/hosts ?ip_address(your ip) fedora(computer name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well it's set up for DHCP. So it doesnt have a static address. But I will try it and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Then you'll want to use127.0.0.1 Â fedora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yeah, I tried that.. Should be done the same way as on a windows machine, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yes. Try including these 2 lines:127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain127.0.0.1 redhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thanks Scuzz and korgg, added 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomainand changed my hostname back to localhost.localdomain and all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Just as a followup then -- the issue could've been resolved by adding this:127.0.0.1 fedora.localdomain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
