List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Darragh, The hostname is set in /etc/sysconfig/network. The default line is: HOST=localhost.localdomain Just change it to what you want. When you reboot, it'll be right. But this is Linux. Therefore, you can use the hostname command to set it on the fly. For example, "hostname wb2flw.octothorp.org", without the quotes, of course. The DNS server IP addresses are found in /etc/resolv.conf. It could look something like: search octothorp.org nameserver 63.224.68.1 nameserver 206.124.1.134 You'd probably want to use name-servers that are closer to you, and you'd probably want to put a more relevant domain in your search statement.
