e) Check the output of the command hostname -f
Is the output of this command:
a hostname.domainname? No problem, continue with step 9.
a plain hostname? You found the problem. Change the hostname as de-
scribed in chapter 10.3. Then continue with step 7h.
f) Check the file /etc/hosts

- at least the following entries have to exist
for spectrometer control:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
149.236.99.1 ASP_ST2
149.236.99.99 spect
If the ethernet card for the laboratory network is not configured as DHCP,
also the name of the own PC has to be listed
xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz name_of_own_pc.domain name_of_own_pc
Does this entry exists?

No? You found the problem. Add the name of the PC as described in chap-
ter 10.5. Then continue with step 8h.

•type in su - to become superuser
•type in ifconfig
you will get a description of the configurations of the ethernet cards.
Check the IP address of the PC, this is the number behind inet addr: , typ-
ically of eth0
• take the IP address and type in host <IP-address>
is the answer like this:
<IP-address>.in.addr.arpa. domain name pointer <PC-Name.domainname>
Yes? No problem, continue with step 9.
No? You found the problem. Contact your network administrator to check
