Help with hosts file
 

All,


Â*


I am having a problem with Xubuntu not recognizing my host
name. Â*I just loaded Xubuntu this morning and did all the updates etc. The
system worked fine when I used DHCP to supply an address but, when I switched
over to a static IP, I got this message:Â*


Â*


“Could not look up Internet address for lugx. Â*This
will prevent Xfce from operating correctly. Â*It may be possible to correct the
problem by adding lugx to the file /etc/hosts on your system.�


Â*


I am behind a firewall and the proxy information is entered
properly. Â*This host file issue seems to be causing the network interface to
not come up.


Â*


Any help would be appreciated.Â* I really don’t want to
reload the system


Â*

I had this error message. A friend told me to make ged-desktop the same
as localhost, so in my etc/hosts file I have this now:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 ged-desktop


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I don't remember what was there originally but it worked. I don't know
if it will help you.

Here's hoping
Ged.
