I never had a line in my /etc/hosts that had: 127.0.1.1 laptop So I didn't see how this could be relevant. I had added some additional 127.0.0.1 lines to my hosts files, which I removed (restoring it to pristine condition), and it made no difference. I tried manually adding my hostname against 127.0.0.1, which also made no difference. "ifconfig lo" looks like:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2657 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2657 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:805852 (786.9 KiB) TX bytes:805852 (786.9 KiB) So that all seems in order. My network is a wireless WPA connection (which seems to be working fine). I do have an ethernet card, eth0, which isn't connected to anything. My 'eth0' was supposedly 'up' (but no IP address, as there isn't anything connected and the DHCP requests just time out). If I do a manual 'ifdown eth0' (and restart apps etc) I get no change. In short, I haven't been able to do anything to the network to get this to work, and it all seems to have very sensible, default settings. If you want me to do some other debugging, let me know what types of things to look at.
