Hello,

I'm confused! I have my linux Redhat 6.0 on a LAN with a fixed IP
address of 192.168.1.4

I want to connect to the Internet via an ISP which gives me a fixed IP
using a dialup connection. I am micro.demon.co.uk on that system.

What do I give my linux box for a hostname and domain name??

Cheers

Geoff
