connecting to localhost while off line

[dave selby]

Hi All,

I cannot get access to my localhost when I am off line. Googleing
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/36754
you have to amend /etc/hosts which I have done (my system name is
dev-system) but this has still not resolved my problem.

my /etc/hosts file is now ...

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost dev-system
127.0.0.1 localhost dev-system

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       dev-system

# 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

Can anyone help ?

Cheers

Dave
