Hello sir/madam, i installed RedHat linux 9.0 and i installed samba package for accessing windows network from my linux system, if once i loggod onto the system the waring occure like below "could not lookup internet addredd for "MY_system_Name". This will prevent GNOME from operatin correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding "MY_system_Name" to the file /etc/hosts. " i dont know why it is coming, i started the smb services also, if i try to open the network servers it display the error as "Couldn't display "smb:///", because Nautilus cannot contact the SMB master browser. Check that an SMB server is running in the local network." i hope i will get good response from your side. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
