Mysql is probably wanting your hostname to be a host= name=20 that can be resolved to an ip address.=20 One way to do this is to edit your /etc/hosts file and enter something li= ke: 192.168.0.10=09mntkz The reason I suggest that ip address is because 192.168.*.* is reserved f= or=20 people with computers who dont have a _real_ ip address and hostname.
