Follow the link from that page to http://www.localhost.com/dns.html and you get some common causes for this problem. j b is right, it could be a missing entry for localhost in /etc/hosts. It could also be a mis-configued dns setup. If you're running your own dns server(s) they need to be authoritative for the 127.0.0.0 network. - Don On 29 Sep, j b wrote:
Post what is in /etc/hosts, and resolv files.
There should be "localhost" but not "localhost.com".
It's looking for a non-local name.
