Re: [FW-1] Error when loading rulebase

Q:fw_ipaddr: cannot get my ipaddr

Whenever I try and do anything in FireWall-1 (even during the installation),
I get this error message on my console:
fw_ipaddr: cannot get my ipaddr


A:This messages means that FireWall-1 is not able to resolve an IP address
to it's own nodename. On Unix or NT, you should be able to type in the
command "hostname" to get the system's host name. You should then add an
entry to your hosts file with this name. The IP this host should resolve to
is usually the "external" IP (usually routable for all attached networks).
