→Investigation 5: How do I setup local hostname resolution?
{{Admon/note | Use each machine | Complete this investigation on all of your VM's and the Fedora host.}}
{{Admon/note | Hosts files vs. the Domain Name System | On large public networks like the Internet or even large private networks we use a network service called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System Domain Name System (DNS)] to resolve the human friendly hostnames like '''fedoraprojectcentos.org''' to the numeric addresses used by the IP protocol. On smaller networks we can use the <code>/etc/hosts</code> on each system to resolve names to addresses.}}
# Use the <code>hostname</code> and <code>ifconfig</code> commands on your fedora centos host and all 3 VM's to gather the information needed to configure the <code>/etc/hosts</code> file on the fedora centos host and the 3 VM's.
# Edit the <code>/etc/hosts</code> file on <u>each</u> of the '''virtual machines and the fedora host'''. Refer to the table below for information to enter in the <code>/etc/hosts</code> file.
