Hi Anna,

Since /etc/hosts holds the host - ipaddr pairs you might enter anything t=
here,
but you will lose your internat connection (because the OS cannot look up
the IP address anymore)...=20

You have to edit /etc/hostname.{interface_id} and /etc/nodename, too.

Good luck,
 Steffen

If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.
