by ok... the story so far...
Dip absolutely refuses to even get off of the ground because of
"Host name lookup failure"
I've looked in hosts and hostname. "hosts" contains a bunch of names in one
column along with IP addresses in another column. I added "linux" (my
machine's name) along with a dummy IP address to the list. "hostname" contains`just one word - "linux."
Dip don't care. Dip don't wanna work. I don't like dip much anymore. However,
I *do* need dip.
I recently learned (via "uname --nodename") that my nodename is "(none)"
but I don't think that this is good.
Can someone tell me how to set the nodename (or even if it is relevent to dip)?
Also, which linux doc refers to this stuff (nodenames, et al) ???
