There also is another issue with /etc/hosts, apart from the wrong first line mentioned before. I can't recall it exactly, but if it isn't setup correctly you get errors in SI, and not being able to connect to DisplayHost (or whatever) sounds exactly like that. Actually that one was driving me nuts for weeks, though my error was a segmentationFault at that time. The error was that my actual hostname didn't show up in that file...once fixed evereything worked fine. I would post my correct configured /etc/hosts, but unfortunately I'm sitting in front of a Windows-box right now and it seems that it is going to be a loong evening :/ Anyway, my guess is this file. Maybe someone else can post a file for reference. And yes, a centralized how-to with dependency-list for the official-supported platform would be great. Not that I need it anymore, as I probably experienced every Linux-bug since XSI6... däNg
