Hi,
under /etc/sysconfig/network
put/edit
HOSTNAME=xyz
That will change your hostname back to somethign more managable....(will
have to restart network services) service network restart

Subject: error message after log in..
hello,
I am hoping somebody can help with some small but very irritating problems.
1. I have managed to rename my computer to X1-6-00-04-e2-a3-5f while trying
to install stuff and don't know how to change it back to something more
simple.
2. When I log in I get an error message :
Could not look up internet address for X1-6-00-04-e2-a3-5f
This will prevent the GNOME from operating correctly.
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding X1-6-00-04-e2-a3-5f to
the file /etc/hosts
I have limited knowledge of Linux and I am running redhat 2.4.20-31.9.
Any help is much appreciated.
Howard
