Hi, Curtis,
Do you have your /etc/hosts file set up? This file contains all of your
local network machine names and IP addresses. The one on my machine
looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.2 gemstone gemstone.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.3 kaizen kaizen.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.4 nostromo nostromo.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.5 akta akta.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.6 picard picard.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.11 weaver weaver.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.12 ripley ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com
192.168.1.13 jonesy jonesy.emeraldbiostructures.com
Hope that helps. Good luck,
Hidong
