=== Investigation 5: How do I setup local hostname resolution? ===

{{Admon/note | Please take note! | 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 '''fedoraproject.org''' to the computer friendly 32bit numeric addresses used by the IP protocol. On smaller ad-hoc networks we can use the <code>/etc/hosts</code> on each system to resolve names to addresses.}}
