Not very helpful really, I can't add chris to /etc/hosts unless I give chris a static address can I? The system certainly has 'chris' as its hostname and 'chris' is returned in response to entering the hostname command.
What do others here have in their /etc/hosts file? I.e. do you have an entry for the name of the system in /etc/hosts as well as specifying it in /etc/hostname?
I have: 127.0.1.1 timspc
Not sure if that was me or Ubuntu 10.04, but it seems to work fine.
... and do you have other computers on the local network which can refer to 'timspc' by name (or vice versa)?
