Ok here goes:
/etc/resolve.conf:
domain ecn.purdue.edu
search ecn.purdue.edu
nameserver 128.46.131.20
nameserver 128.46.131.20
nameserver 128.46.131.20
/etc/host.conf:
order hosts,bind
multi on
/etc/hostname:
widget-servis
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback widget-servis.ecn.purdue.edu
widget-servis
#(plus a bunch of other frequenctly used hosts at ecn.purdue.edu)
/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: LOCAL
/etc/hosts.deny
ALL: PARANOID
/etc/hosts.equiv
#(empty)
/etc/hosts.lpd
#(empty)
/etc/init.d/network:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0 dev lo
Newly discovered info: I can ping 127.0.0.1 and it works if I ping
widget-servis it gives a host unknown error, this used to work in
before.
