From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Im not sure which component this error is related to. If you could assign it to the right component I would appreciate it. When I start up under gnome I get the following error message: Could not look up internet address for dhcp-109-21. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding dhcp-109-21 to the file /etc/hosts. I am on a standard cable modem connection using DHCP assigned address. My address starts with ool and not dhcp if i look at the ip I was assigned and it changes every so often to another ip but always starts with ool. I also notice the dhcp on the bottom right of the login screen before gnome loads up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot machine 2.Login using default Gnome Desktop Additional info:
assigning to gnome
We really should figure out if resolving the local hostname is really required, and if it is we should fix the networking subsystem so it always works...
I also get this problem. I added what the error message was telling me to /etc/hosts but nothing changed I still sometimes get this annoying message when I start fedora.
