Login Error - enigma - 2004-03-23
I have been try to resolve this problem since I installed Fedora, I am not quite sure what it is but would like that error message to go away everytime i login. Here is the error message i revieve upon logging in:
Could not look up internet address for (My Host) Thsi will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding (My Host) to /etc/hosts.
I have added my host to the hosts file using Gedit, even so nothing changed the error message again popped up during the next login. I also added my ip instead of the host name, again nothing changed, if you have any tips tricks or can solve the problem I would greatly appreciate it.

you need an entry in /etc/hosts for your hostname and your lan ip.
192.168.0.2 hostname.domain hostname
Login Error - enigma - 2004-03-26
I added my ip and for the hell of it the 192.168.0.2 and there error still occurs...
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.0.2 localhost.localdomain localhost
