Hi list, 

I tried to connect two laptops with a laplink cable and to set
up a network and NFS server according to the instructions 
coming with BL1 and BL2 (in the file /root/netsetup). 

In BL1 everything worked as supposed, but in BL2 I met a 
particular problem. 

------- /etc/hosts -------------
127.0.0.1   localhost   BasicLinux
192.168.1.1     server
192.168.1.2     client
---------------------------------

the command line 

    ifconfig plip0 server pointopoint client

does not work, whereas 

    ifconfig plip0 192.168.1.1 pointopoint 192.168.1.2

works. Is there anything wrong with /etc/hosts? Why are the aliases
not accepted?

Christof
