Now I logged in.
I have checked /etc/hosts it has only :
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost om

Can I set up or/see existing ip address and use telnet to connect to box
from my PC
Thanks

You certainly can.

First do "ifconfig -a" to see what ethernet cards you have.

Then create a /etc/hostname.ifname where ifname is the name of the interface. for example

/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/hostname.hme0

or whatever.

Put in that file the hostname of the machine, and then put an entry in the /etc/hosts file. Do a reboot and it should configure the ethernet card.

There is more you can do to set up the netmask, nodename and /etc/resolve.conf, do a search of this site for details.

Thanks Porte ... learning on the fly
ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

created a file /etc/hostname.lo0
Wrote the name of the machine I just made up - ambush on the first line of the file.
reboot - Ok

ifconfig -a shows the same ?
