Hi,

When I ping my domain name, I get the following response:

64 bytes from li-375-XX.members.linode.com (96.126.XX.XX): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms

Is there any way to show my domain name instead? Vanity... :)

Thanks.

Set your domain name as the reverse dns. You can do it in the admin panel.

Linode Manager > Dashboard > Remote Access tab, to be more precise, just make sure you have a forward facing A record before you try setting RDNS.

I already have RDNS set up. However, I am not sure I understand the "forward facing A record" part.

Thanks.

OK. I figured out what the problem was... I was pinging from my linode and I didn't have properly configure hostname and /etc/hosts.

Thanks.
