I got it working. As background, this is a fresh FC14 86_x64 system, static IP, hostname=laptop (coincidentally the first machine on which I've changed the hostname from the default 'localhost'). The installer, and/or NetworkManager created the /etc/hosts file with home (127.0.0.1) resolving to "localhost" and "localhost.localdomain," and my private IP (192.168.2.105) resolved to "laptop" (hostname). It also had IPv6 loopback line which had the IPv6 address resolving to "localhost6," "localhost.localdomain6" AND "laptop." I ignored the IPv6 line since I don't use IPv6 (but would like to have it still functional). I tried various combinations of putting the hostname in the line with the home lo address, putting "localhost" in the line with my private IP, and none of that worked. I then, out of frustration, took "laptop" out of the IPv6 line, AND IT WORKED!! DSSI GUIs now actually work. Networking still works, from what I can tell so far. I've found no problems. If something blows up related to this alleged "fix," I'll post that here too. -- Check out the website I've been cobbling together.
