I've got one for you guys! And, yes, Mag00, I've read the manual and
still not making any sense.
When you do an install in either Mandrake, Redhat, or Linux Redmond for
that matter, there comes a point where it asks for a "Qualified Host
Name". I've seen examples such as [ host1.handsonhistory.com ] listed
as well as a default of [localhost.localdomain.com ] What is the
qualified host name, and what is it's importance on your network? Is
this so that other computers on your network can recognize you? In MS
when you network you have a computer "Name" and also a "Workgroup" so
if you wish to share files, and map a network drive, I know that I must
be part of the same workgroup such as MSHOME or else I'm stuck. If I
add a nework drive, like my wifes, and her computer is "pams" then I
need to type \pams\C to be able to access her C drive.
Is Qualified Host Name similar to this? Even though we are networked
and have file and foler "shares", I can find my local windows partitions
in Linux, but I don't find any of the 'network' drives listed on my
wife's computer ( or daughter). Perhaps it's linked to the way I set up
the qualified host name.
Thanks!
Cheers!
