(...) :-) First, resolve your network layout by either using a dynamic setup (your IP address could change on every reboot) or by using a static configuration. http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration Then, review your "/etc/hosts" file. Do you see the same error if you run "/sbin/ifconfig", that is, using not "sudo" at all?
