<P dir=ltr>Hi Eric,</P>
<P dir=ltr> </P>
<P dir=ltr>I have 2 entries under /etc/hosts. </P>
<P dir=ltr> </P>
<P dir=ltr>127.0.0.1 localhost</P>
<P dir=ltr>127.0.1.1 user-laptop</P>
<P dir=ltr> </P>
<P dir=ltr>I can ping successfully between these 2 IP's with ssh localhost, ping user-laptop and vice-versa.</P>
<P dir=ltr> </P>
<P dir=ltr>Thanks!</P>

Can you successfully ping localhost?<BR>
<BR> <BR>
What are the contents of /etc/hosts on your machine? Is there an entry<BR>such as "127.0.0.1 localhost"?<BR>
