You need to specify your domainname in either /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf
The format of the hosts file is whats important here, I think (this is from memory though as im on WinXP) that the format is: | Code: | | IP-address FQDC alias1 alias2 alias3... |
Ie | Code: | | 192.168.10.14 mycomputer.mydomain mycomp mycomputer |
for example |

I think the important one is to put it in /etc/resolv.conf you need a line that says
If you get your address from dhcp this should be done automatically providing you have filled in /etc/dnsdomainname and added domainname to the default runlevel. |
