If you deferred configuration of TCP/IP during installation and you do not configure a network card before running the Internet Manager for the first time, the Internet Manager adds a line of the following form to the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 host.full.domain host
host.full.domain is the fully qualified domain name of your machine. This entry will work in most cases, but if you configure a PPP link with a fixed IP address (that is, if you do not select ``dynamic''), you should edit /etc/hosts and change the IP address on this line to the local IP address on your PPP link.
If you configure a network card after you have already run the Internet Manager, a line with the IP address of that network card is added to /etc/hosts, but this line is located after the line originally added by the Internet Manager. Edit /etc/hosts and remove the line added by the Internet Manager.
