Suse Linux --host name and domain name
I installed Suse linux on a microsoft xp machine and i am having trouble setting the host name and domain name. I have tried linux, localhost and all sorts of crap with no luck.
when I go to the browser and ask for a well known site like google all i get is "unknown host". I set this up on a win 98 machine no problem but I don't remember what I done. setup the xp machine same as the 98 machine but no good. these two machines go thru a netgear router to a cable modem (comcast) anybody got any ideas?????????? ----------> HELP! <-------------- thanks |

To set a hostname just su to root and type 'hostname blah.com' (without quotes).
Setting the hostname has nothing to do with domain resolution through. You need a DNS server that your machine can query. You can use your provider's or run you own locally. I recommend dnscache. |

It seems that you also have DNS servers misconfigured. Try adding likes like:
nameserver <ip of dns1> nameserver <ip of dns2> to /etc/resolv.conf
