Host's IP address can't be found
I installed Etch on a stand-alone workstation which is the sole host on
a local network and has Internet access through a hardware firewall.
I have a MB ethernet chip, but am using a NIC card. Before the card was
eth0, but with installation of Etch on a new disk, it apparently changed
to eth1.
I can't mail out with rmail or Wanderlust because the host's IP address
can't be found:
In exim4/mainlog when I use rmail:
2007-04-28 06:55:20 1HhkaF-0000qy-WE <= brownh@teufel.hartford-hwp.com
U=brownh P=local S=448
