Server Domain name & Host name

by hallam » Tue, 08 May 2001 03:30:31

Just setting up my server (redHat 7.1) via linuxconf
What do I need to put as the Host name+Domain?

I have checked all the how to's Man pages and other web sites!!

Background:
I will be setting this up with a cable modem connection to my ISP, with 2 x
Win98 boxes connected to the Linux Server - hopefully using it to get on the
internet for web and mail services (+ ICQ & MSN Messenger). I will also be
using it to test web sites before publishing to the net.

thanks,

Dave
