> That was the file.....It contained:
'man hosts':
The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the
net-
work. For each host a single line should be present with the following
information:
Internet address
official host name
aliases
> 63.174.216.138 jpersinger.greenmachine.net jpersinger
That is the IP address of your machine, the official (full) name of the
machine, then a single alias.
In order to set up a local network, you need to make sure that all of
the machines on the network exist in that /etc/hosts file, and that each
machine has a complete copy of the /etc/hosts file.
