Ahhh....  That is in your /etc/hosts file....  And you said you were doing

nslookup risingstar   ??

If that is so, you have 2 problems.

1.  nslookup doesn't reference data in the hosts file.  It only does a DNS query.

192.168.0.18    nickel nickel.greshko.com

[egreshko at meimei hidenet]$ nslookup nickel
Server:         192.168.0.55
Address:        192.168.0.55#53

** server can't find nickel: NXDOMAIN

Is expected....

2.  You have israel.risingstar.local in your hosts file.  Therefore the "host" name
is israel and the domain part is risingstar.local   Programs such as ping and ssh
will consult the hosts file.  Sooo......

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ ping israel.risingstar.local
PING israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms
64 bytes from israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.034 ms
64 bytes from israel.risingstar.local (192.168.0.18): icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.030 ms

So....  change the line in you /etc/hosts if you want a hostname of risingstar.

192.168.1.84     risingstar
