I'm I missing an option some where, I have tried maybe : 25 combinations of ip address in the options file, is there something : more on another network file? Sounds like the IP address and host information is not in the ethers and or the /etc/hosts files. Make sure that the hosts knows the IP address and the alias (name) attached to it. We had a like problem here until we completed that. Hope this help.....
