My other debian computer works fine without the -pointopoint option.
Tried this anyway and got "Host name lookup failure"
In /etc/hostname I have simply "progeny" (though it is is debian 2.2_R2 potato).
In /etc/hosts : 127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.101 progeny
192.168.1.100 debian
Any suggestions. I believe this should work.
