One thing that looks wrong to me is the host configuration. There is no host name for IP address 127.0.0.1. I have host names for:
127.0.0.2 Earth-svr.site 127.0.0.3 Venus-ws.site 127.0.0.4 Marslaptop.site
I was going to experiment with 127.0.0.1 but when I attempt to edit it, I get this dire warning:
The host 127.0.0.1 is a system host. Really change it?
Can someone tell me what this means? I'm not strong in networking so please use newbie words.
127.0.0.1 is localhost. It should not be changed. It equals to "me" in networking, i.e. 127.0.0.1 is my local computer. HTH.
It helps a lot. Thanks. -- Don Henson
