Re: Acid does not respond to hostname, only ip address.

Maybe the host file needs the fully qualified name (snortbox.domain.com) plus the short name (snortbox). 
Or perhaps your resolv.conf needs a domain entry so that the short name resolves correctly. 

Just a couple of thoughts.

Subject: [Snort-users] Acid does not respond to hostname, only ip address.

Hello,



I have a weird problem here.



I have DNS and /etc/hosts file configured.



I can ping the hostname of the snort machine running acid.



I can browse to the apache index.html of the snort machine running acid on apache using the hostname (and ip address as 
well).



BUT,



I cannot seem to get to the acid main php page using the hostname. I can only get to it using ip address.



Here's the weird thing, a few month ago, I had a similar problem but it was the opposite. I cannot see the acid page 
using ip address but I can only see it using hostnames.



The only thing that changed is that I moved the snort box to a different LAN, BUT DNS and /etc/hosts are the same and I 
have /etc/resolv.conf configured to the correct nameserver and I can nslookup the snort machine fine from different 
computers.



Any suggestions as to what I am missing?



Thanks.
