Simple solution: 127.0.0.1 myhostname.mydomainname.it myhostname localhost The problem is that some programs try to look up their own name. Since it isn't going to be in DNS, and it isn't in /etc/hosts, it causes the program to kinda sit and spin waiting for a response before it continues. If you ever use your machine on DHCP, this is the best solution. After all, if you're ever connecting to your own hostname, you'll be using loopback anyway, right? -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
