Re: [gentoo-user] Name Resolution Problem

[Russell Slater]

  
lo is up, verified with ifconfig. I can ping 127.0.0.1, however pinging localhost results in "ping: unknown host localhost". I get the same result with anything else that I add to the hosts file.
Thanks,

For some reason it does not appear that the /etc/hosts file is being processed. Is there a config file somewhere that specifies whether or not the hosts file gets processed? My system is setup for DHCP and resolv.conf gets overwritten every time the system is booted.>>Just check first that the lo interface is up? ifconfig will tell you.>>also
