Got a problem. I have a cable modem running by DHCP. Whenever I boot RedHat I get an error prompt that states...

"could not look up internet address for computer. This will prevent Gnome from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding computer to the file /etc/hosts/"

Any ideas how to fix this? I have tried the adding of computer to etc/hosts/ to no avail. This does not happen if I unplug my cable modem, and go dial-up.

Thanks,
SD

It works for me.

All I did was put the where.com in /etc/hosts and log out & in.
