What Linux distro do you use? You must 'tell' Linux your hostname and your domain name:
<pre>/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf</pre>

I'm using RedHat 9. Can you help me out?

This the content of:

/etc/resolv.conf
"; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search jmscs.local
nameserver 172.16.0.254
nameserver 172.16.0.1"

/etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 liveon localhost.localdomain localhost

Thank You.
