    Here are my files and you see what they should be:
[karl at k5di ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=k5di.com
[karl at k5di ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.0.2     k5di.com
216.234.192.92  nameserver
216.234.213.130 nameserver

[karl at k5di ~]$
