Ok.

>your_ip        your_hostname.your_domain your_hostname

And if I don't have a your_hostname.your_domain your_hostname? Can I just 
add the ip?

># vi /etc/sysconfig/network

Ok. Will try that tomorrow and see what happens!

BTW why is a hostname required in both places? What is the functionality of 
the different files?
