Hi

I know that there is a problem with Konqueror and the hosts-file:
Simple: Konqueror ignores the hosts-file (its content)!

The files I checked:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/host.conf
/etc/resolv.conf

/etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files nisplus dns

/etc/host.conf:
order hosts,bind

/etc/resolv.conf:
hostresorder local bind
search cablecom.ch
nameserver 62.2.17.61

For those who solved this problem: how did you do it? :)
For those who never had this problem: which files do you suggest to check?

Thanks in advanvce!
