As I switch from the bash to Xwindows I always get this message:
"Could not look up internet address for 'Mycomputer' ".
As well as I open my mail client comes a message saying:
"Cannot open SMTP connection to host mailhost.pi.be"
Can anyone tell me what I have to do to finally get connected
to the net under Linux?
