I setup my new symantec enterprise firewall7.0 and i got an error message below.

domainname Error: This system's name (erika) is not fully qualified. This will cause significant problems in operation. Check that the fully qualified host name is set as the first name for the local system in the hosts file.

PID 856

Any help.
 
edit your hostfile (on nt or 200 that is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and enter the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the firewall.

example hosts file:

192.168.0.10 erika.yourdomain.com

then reboot and try to install SEF 7.0 again.
