RE: Change of hostname

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Just going through the basics, when you type "hostname" at the shell
prompt, do you get the hostname you are expecting?  Also, if you run
"nslookup `hostname`" does that name resolve correctly?  Can you resolve
the IP address returned by nslookup to a hostname again?

Hopefully this should help you work out what the problem is.

James.
