Looks like it - I keep seeing: Apr 18 09:07:45 mhrichter sendmail[3376]: My unqualified host name (mhrichter) unknown; sleeping for retry Apr 18 09:08:45 mhrichter sendmail[3376]: unable to qualify my own domain name (mhrichter) -- using short name The original host name was something like adsl-69-234-xx-xx-<something>.<an att thing>.com. IIUTC, you're saying I should include that original domain name on the host name line. The 192.138 address is a local subdomain for the VMWare server NAT (which works really nicely) - would I need to modify that one, too or just the host? > Are you using the stock drivers or the proprietary nForce chipset drivers? > Whatever CentOS used when it came up from the install, most likely the stock drivers. I haven't looked to see if there are any updates since these were working fine from install to present. I'll see what's there....
