The only files that matter are /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts As I said in an earlier email, red must be behaving differently because red.Workgroup is an alias of localhost and has an address of 127.0.0.1. I have never understood the Debian/Ubuntu setup where hosts is 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 hostname and I usually change mine to 127.0.0.1 hostname [hostname.domain] localhost </pre> </blockquote> I have always had luck doing it the very simple way: carl@cjfh3:~$ cat /etc/hostname cjfh3 carl@cjfh3:~$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 cjfh3 Regards Carl </body> </html>
