Hi folks,

Thanks all jiju, sathya, asif, aditya, sunil for the help.

When my computer starts the message that comes is 
setting hostname rajesh.com.

Jiju I made the above changes as per your suggestion in my /etc/hosts
file but still I get the error could not connect to http://rajesh.com

I even tried typing http://rajesh.com instead of rajesh.com but same result.

hosts file must contain entry for rajesh.com. (like 127.0.0.1) 
If you are connected to the internet  and your /etc/resolv.conf is configured
to use DNS first before files then  a dns query on the internet will occur. So
make sure the lookup order is files,dns
> also check out the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files
Only if httpd is configured to be started by inetd which is probably not the
case

Now my /etc/hosts file is as follows :
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.1.1    rajesh.com    rajesh

My /etc/resolv.conf contains the following :

search  rajesh.com
nameserver 202.54.1.30
nameserver 202.54.17.30 

/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files are empty. Only with few comment
lines telling what these files are doing nothing else.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<snip>
$ hostname -i
<snip>

this command gives the following output on my system.
192.168.1.1 
which is what I had mentioned in /etc/hosts file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both httpd and inetd are started during system startup.

try adding ur ip and name in /etc/host
or install DNS for the lan from pcqupdt
<snip>

I have enabled DNS and Internet Gatewaying on my system using PCQUPDT script.
Is this the cause of the problem ?

Waiting for your replies.

Thanks in advance.
