Network configuration file
Hi there,

Where is text file "Network configuration" located?

I would like to change "Host"
and "Domain" that was set with "sysinstall".

My current "Domain" is "il.comcast.net"

so I tried
find / -name "il.comcast.net"
without success.

Thanks

I'm assuming you're using FreeBSD. In this case, check /etc/rc.conf

Going through FreeBSD installation process(sysinstall )
I entered "dell" for hostname.

My FreeBSD machine is connected to internet through router
whose ip is "24.12.126.5"

When Installation was finished and after GNOME login screen I got en error:

"Could not look up internet address for dell.
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly"

I somehow found a web site that would tell me that my hostname is:
"c-24-12-126-5"

I changed "hostanme" in "/etc/rc.conf" file
, restarted my FreeBSD machine and error was gone.

Is there a command to find out what is my "hostname" supposed to be
and I do not mean
c-24-12-126-5 # hostname that just tells me hostname set in
"/etc/rc.conf" file.

Thanks
