Thanks for the reply. Here's what I get:

damian at D820:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 D820.MAGIC

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
damian at D820:~$

Does that help in any way to figure out what's going on?
