    Did that and the penny dropped. I've never thought of the /etc/hosts
    file as part of the name resolution process. For the first time,
    /etc/hosts makes sense to me.

    You said to make sure there is a blank line at the end of the file. Is
    that essential or just a good idea?

    I used YaST and substituted a host name for the IP address.

    Yea. Everything works. I sincerely appreciate your hanging in there with
    what must sound like a bunch of stupid questions. Unfortunately, much of
    the documentation in the Linux world makes a lot of assumptions about
    how much the reader already knows. Troubleshooting a specific problem
    with knowledgeable individuals like many of you on this list goes a long
    way toward clarifying concepts in my own mind. Thanks again.
