I was referring to the bit about not being able to resolve your own host name. You need `hosts' first in /etc/host.conf and your own host name in /etc/hosts. > The FAQ talks about having a line for localhost in /etc/resolv.conf. > I already have one. It hangs with the other entries i.e. > nameserver(s) for PacBell or earthlink etc. If I comment > these entries (still retaining the first line for localhost), > it works fine. > > - Mahesh > > Brian Somers wrote: > > > > The ppp utility hangs when there is an entry in /etc/resolv.conf > > > (for the nameserver(s)). > > > It also hangs when the named daemon is running, as is the case > > > when the machine comes up.
