given that you have a dns problem ?? ( ie .. things not working right )

i'd change the following:


# cat hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       GX200


127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.10.123	gx200.courzet.fr  gx200
GX200:/etc# cat resolv.conf
search Barricade_Home69


the above is whacky .. use a real domain like below

search gourzet.fr


# dnsdomainname
localdomain


that'd be bad ..

the result of the following commands should always work:
# hostname -f
 	gx200.gourzet.fr

# hostname -s
	gx200

# hostname -d
	gourzet.fr

# domainname
	dourzet.fr

# dnsdomainname
	gourzet.fr

- you will have random problems with various ( more finicky ) apps if dns is not properly config'd

------

for more debugging .. ( assuming you want bind )
	what is the contents of your named.conf and the contents
	of the files that named.conf references

Many thanks for your reply Alvin. I do not have any named.conf file on my system. Also using DHCP I could not modify my hosts file as the IP address change @ each startup! What I did is based on your advise, I changed the SMC Barricade Domain Name to let say 'Home.fr'
Consequently I have now

# cat resolv.conf
search Home.fr
nameserver 192.168.2.1
nameserver 212.27.32.176

but this is it! So I still have the following due to my unchanged resolv.conf...

# dnsdomainname
localdomain
GX200:/etc# hostname
GX200
GX200:/etc# hostname -d
localdomain
GX200:/etc# hostname -s
localhost
GX200:/etc#
