I have two IP addresses that do not equal, as they should in my PC. The PC has a network card, modem, but no such entries in the KERNEL config file (intentionally removed). Only the loopback pseude device is attached. Its address is 127.0.0.1, and is the only AF_INET device reported via some sockets functions, yet another function gives 10.0.0.2 as some global (?) IP address. The latter address comes from my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.2 prospero 130.133.3.244 titania.physik.fu-berlin.de titania This results in local host not found/responding etc etc. The system has been copied from a friend's configuration and then altered. I also tried to change 10.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.1 which made it work a bit more, but still not as much as it should. Leaving the host line with prospero (my hostname) out will not work either. Any help is desperatly needed. (If possible email me.) Thank you in advance.
