Hello: I use linux on my laptop at home and work. It
uses the same fixed
IP address both at home and office. I recently
installed the IBMJDK (using rpm)
when I was connected to my office network and the
installation was smooth.
But when I took my machine home, it will go through the
start up process (all
processes start fine), but it takes a long time (almost 1
minute compared to
few seconds before I started having problems) for the
gnome login window
to come up. Now when I login, a new window comes saying
"looking up
internet address for linux_ravi" (linux_ravi is my
hostname) with a moving bar
below. Eventually this window disappears and then the
machine hangs. But back
in the office network, it works just like before.
I donot know what does it mean by "looking up internet
address for linux_ravi". I have a
fixed IP and the same default gateway everywhere. Looks
like the gnome configuration
is screwed up somewhere. or I am not sure about the
cause
I booted into text mode and removed the IBM JDK, but still
see the same problem
Could some help me.
Thanks
Ravi
