Hmm I keep getting this error when I start Xwindows in my red hat 9 installation:
Could not lookup internet address for bigbertha.
This may prevent GNOME from operating correctly.
It may be possible to correct this problem by adding bigbertha to the file /etc/hosts
But it's already in the file!
I don't understand.
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.102 bigbirtha.ijkijkijk.com bigbirtha
192.168.0.102 www.BecomingOrthodox.com BecomingOrthodox ftp.BecomingOrthodox.com

Aah this is a common problem.. i believe the solution was to have
127.0.0.1 also resolving to bigbertha or something similar
etiehr that or
hostname bigbertha.
a quick google will tell you the answer.. I had this ages ago when I was a gnome user.
for the interested, its now fluxbox.

"Could not lookup internet address for bigbertha. "
"192.168.0.102 bigbirtha.ijkijkijk.com bigbirtha "
Notice the spelling of bigbirtha in your /etc/hosts has an i in birtha and your hostname is referring to bigbertha with an e instead of an i.
