SOLVED: network check / network settings
Posted: Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:22 am
Hello and sorry for the "thousands" entry about network check failed. I searched the forum, tried everything posted but nothing worked right now.
First what I want. I want to install the scalix server on my new FC5 linux machine in my local network (situated in my house). The server is connected to a router which grants access to the internet. To reach my server from outside I want to use a dyndns-domain name, which my router can update automatically. Ports are forwarded to the server. Hope this helps to understand my needs.
Good, I installed FC5 and started to install scalix and failed at the network check. Here the debug-output:
My /etc/hosts:
In /etc/hostname I wrote:
So, my questions are, can I install the server in the environment I desire? Is a DNS server needed in my LAN? I read this, but can´t believe that a DNS-server is obligatory to get the server working?
How can I approach to get the network check be successful?
Hope for help, although I know the problem was already discussed, but "perhaps" I have different needs?
