However, no connection to the internet has been established. A message appears: Could not look up internet address for daan-laptop. This will prevent Xfce from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding daan-laptop to the file /etc/hosts on your system. Although I understand the message I do not know how to correct this. Can anybody help me? Thank you very much in advance. regards, Daan </blockquote></div> Hi Daan, I'm not too sure how to solve this, but... What does your /etc/hosts file look like? -- Vincent
