Thank Guenther it worked! For the record, problem solved. Edit /etc/host and delete everything that is not basic for the proper work of the system, delete comments, blank unused espaces and be really carefull to put only one tab between items. Then this thing work, I'm really happy cuz 1.4.0 look better and have more functionality (also more bugs but it's normal =) ). Thanks to Jeffrey and Guenther again.
