-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi, > Wait: what does your machine's *own* /etc/hosts file look like, and how > are you determining machine names on your subnet? DNS? Well, since I have a loopback setup the content of /etc/hosts is simply a line 127.0.0.1 localhost I don't use local DNS. When I connect to internet, I use a PPP connection and use a remote DNS. Could that be a problem? I detect the distinct odor of a problem. Not being a Linux wizard, but rather a SunOS geek, I would see what you get for "hostname", then do an "nslookup hostname" to see if you have any other IP address associated with your site.
