DNS issues

[rhaessner]

Hi,

I am trying to installl the community edition using SuSE 10.0 Prof. After I changed /etc/SuSE-release, the installer didn't refuse the installation.

Unfortunately somewhat later I got the messages, that neither my /etc/hosts contains the FQDN nor does the DNS give a correct correlation between hostname and IP.

Unfortunately my /etc/hosts contains a line
<IP> <short hostname> >FQDN>

nslookup <IP> gives the FQDN and
nslookup FQDN gives the correct IP

I would be happy to repair my wrong installation, but I have no idea, what could
be improved.

Can you post the output from the installer so that we can see what exact error it is returning. One question: What is the name of the network device, i.e. eth0, wlan0 etc.

Cheers
