Please stop bumping and double posting her as it is not permitted!

As for this post lets start first by:
Quote:
My unqualified host name (edms032) unknown
Means your host is either badly configured in the DNS or you are using something wrong
To see:
Code:
nslookup edms032
# and then try:
nslookup <yourIP>

What does nslookup say?

Code:
[root@edms032 ~]# nslookup edms032
  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
   
  [root@edms032 ~]# nslookup 10.66.62.28
  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
   
  [root@edms032 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
  # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
  # that require network functionality will fail.
  10.66.62.28     edms032 032
  127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
  [root@edms032 ~]#

Just so get the situation: what does this give?
Code:
nslookup www.unix.com
