This is the result of the ifconfig -a:
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4>mtu8232 index1
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
      inet 128.169.76.38 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 128.169.76.255
       ether 8:0:20:90:c6:63

and my /etc/hosts file looks like this:

127.0.0.1              localhost
128.169.76.38      chekov.it.utk.edu      chekov   loghost

Thanks, J
