OK its macosx 10.2.2 on a new PB 1 gig. I am using an Airport Base Station
and manually assigning my ip as 10.0.1.10

If I go into Sharing it says:

Computer Name macmurray2

Rendezvous Name macmurray2 .local

Network Address go.read.the.rfc.this.server.doesnt.resolve.rfc1918

If I click on the go.read.... it changes to 10.0.1.10

Other macintosh users can access your computer at

afp://go.read.the.rfc.this.server.doesnt.resolve.rfc1918/

If I open an XTerm in OrborOSX it has go.read.the.rfc.this.server.doesnt.resolve.rfc1918
as title.

I think in my previous powerbook I got rid of this by some trick
but I have forgotten what. Any ideas ?

When at work on the internet with a proper IP I don't get anything like this
of course.

Thanks - Michael

I haven't read RFC 1918 in it's entirety (http://rfc-1918.rfc-index.net/).... but I'd imagine since you're using the 10.x.x.x block of IP addresses, which are unallocated and used for private networks (and therefore don't resolve), you're not resolving, and apple (or whoever implemented the network code) put this little phrase in instead of an error message.

You could try using a different IP address range (a lot of folks use 192.168.x.x, which is also unallocated, but you might run into the same problems) but I don't know of a workaround other than that. Hope this helps... more of an explanation than a solution though.

I was getting something similar (TheAddressDoesNotExist) and tried a few things which may or may not have been responsible for it working now... !

I don't have Airport, but I assume the basestation acts as a DHCP server. In which case, you could try 'DHCP with a static IP address' in your Network Preferences.

You can also try typing 'hostname macmurrary2' as root in the terminal.

Or add '10.0.1.10 macmurray2' to your hosts file (/etc/hosts I think... depressingly, I know it's winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Win2K )

This sounds like you have enabled Airport to Ethernet Bridging. This makes your private 10. network be part of your ISPs network, which it can't.

No I haven't got that selected. Thanks for posting though
