[xubuntu-users] Help with hosts file

[Stoos, Ralph]

All,

 

I am having a problem with Xubuntu not recognizing my host name.  I just
loaded Xubuntu this morning and did all the updates etc. The system
worked fine when I used DHCP to supply an address but, when I switched
over to a static IP, I got this message:  

 

"Could not look up Internet address for lugx.  This will prevent Xfce
from operating correctly.  It may be possible to correct the problem by
adding lugx to the file /etc/hosts on your system."

 

I am behind a firewall and the proxy information is entered properly.
This host file issue seems to be causing the network interface to not
come up.

 

Any help would be appreciated.  I really don't want to reload the system
