My last message crossed with this one, I didn't realize you'd discovered that the address was your machine's. If you can rely on keeping the address, you can put whatever you like in /etc/hosts 192.168.1.45 debiansystem But this isn't the answer, the answer is to properly configure the service that's causing the error, probably by having it reference 'localhost'.
