The hosts file for the trouble machine: ----- begin hosts ------ 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 hostname # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts ----- end hosts ----- I'm not sure what the '127.0.1.1' line is for. it's not the IP of the machine, which receives it's IP via DHCP served from a Debian (Etch) router/firewall. I tried commenting out that line and adding the dynamic IP, but it had the same result. ...Rob -- Woody Guthrie sang about b-e-e-t-s, not b-e-a-t-s. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
