I see the problem
the line in /etc/hosts
"127.0.1.1 richard-laptop.www.plusnet.com"
is the problem. The domain name "richard-laptop.www.plusnet.com" is strange
as normaily "www" would not be in the midel of the name. Also there is no
short name "richard-laptop" so asoming that the laptop is not being used as a
webserver try changing the line to:
"127.0.1.1 richard-laptop.plusnet.com richard-laptop"
but unbuntu automatily updates this file when you login and the network app
makes a new network connection so what I would serjest is on the desktop look
in the menus for "network" open that program and check that all the settings
are right esp the domain name settings.
I hope this points you in the right direction.
