Putty 02 Troubleshooting – Can connect with IP address and not Host Name
See all my tutorials at www.gauteferstad.com. In this tutorial we will troubleshoot a problem that seems to pop up using Putty. You are able to connect to your Linux server when you use a IP address, but as soon as you replace the IP address with the Host Name of your server, it doesn’t want to connect. This tutorial will show you what you have to do to be able to connect using Host Name.
ip address
I really love your tutorial, smooth tutorial which I liked most, I've learned a lot, thanks.
Linux #vi /etc/hosts
But is an alias if you put different hostname with the same IP, it works as well.

I have a Linux virtual machine that's having this problem. How would I do this in Linux?
