My network includes machines running Linux and others running Windows. And my machine is running Linux.
I want Ubuntu to get the hostname and DNS name from a DHCP client. The default installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) does not do that.
The same question was asked and is unsolved on Ubuntu Forums.
When I connect to my server (ubuntu server 10.10), I get this:
[email protected] ~>
How can I remove ".belkin"?
I've got several Ubuntu machines on my network at home, but the DNS is provided by a windows server (2K). When I ssh to them from another , if I ssh to them as "machine" I can't connect, but if I connect as "machine.local" I can connect.
I think similarly, I can't connect from a windows client (like putty).
What's going on here? - it's clearly an Ubuntu thing.
I'm attempting to block myself from time-wasting websites but changes I make to /etc/hosts. For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ross-laptop
127.0.0.1 bing.com
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I can access bing.com in a freshly opened Chrome or Firefox - why is this not working?
