The DNS may not match the actual “hostname” of the new box. Also, just because it is in /etc/hosts, does not mean that it is the true “hostname.”
To find out: On a unix box, just type in “hostname” and press enter. That will show you what the system thinks its own name is. For windows, you have to right click on my computer, then properties to see the hostname. -- Brian This e-mail is private and may be confidential and is for the intended recipient only.
