After i've followed their instructions; being: "Type: 'frazz.raycomm.com' into the Host Name space", so, i've did that and it doesnt work. I really dont like to say that, but im very new,to UNIX.

The next step that they have is to "log in" which is the prompt for the Host Name or website address?

What i can do is type "google.com" or "yahoo.com" and it will work, meaing that i've typed a valid Host Name. [Little Differences] the window differs from what the figure 1.3 indicates. For instance, theres is white and has prompts for a user id. Whereas having "google.com" as a Host Name shows a black window, similar to the cmd prompt, and a green blinker. Im able to click each line of the window but unable to type.


I'd like to hurry this along so i can start my login shells with su

Thanks!

hi,
you have to update the hosts file in windows xp system. then you can type FQDN or otherwise you have to type IP address.
