Check /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname. They should look something like this: /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 servo servo.local localhost localhost.local localhost4 \ localhost4.local4 ::1 servo servo.local localhost localhost.local localhost6 \ localhost6.local6 /etc/hostname: servo.local That should be sufficient. If not, I'm sure someone will let us know. :-) Hope this helps. --Dale -- Penn's aunts made great apple pies at low prices. No one else in town could compete with the pie rates of Penn's aunts.
