Take a look at your /etc/hosts file, it probably contains a line that has something like:
127.0.0.2 <your long host name here> <shortname>
This is a non-existant host, really. You need to modify it, and make sure it contains the true IP number of your host.
In another email Don said, I'm not sure what you mean by the "true" IP number. However, someone else suggested another way to solve his problem, and the thread died. I would like to know how to determine true IP number of my host. when I go to etc/hosts i see the following: 127.0.0.1 localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts 192.168.1.145 box1.localdomain peter **** I assume it is this last line that Örn Hansen is referring to... but my question remains: how to determine true IP number of my host ???
