I dont know, try typing 'uname -n' that prints off the hostname your using. if by any chance your using a static dhcp address (thats what I tend to use, but I configure my own dhcp server) you will always be assigned the same address and therefore always get the same name and you could enter that into /etc/hosts. another easy option would be to set a hostname on the pc. just enter a name into /etc/hostname. That will set a perminent hostname on the pc, then enter that into /etc/hosts -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
