Simple solution: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
127.0.0.1 myhostname.mydomainname.it myhostname localhost |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The problem is that some programs try to look up their own name. Since |
| 18 |
it isn't going to be in DNS, and it isn't in /etc/hosts, it causes the |
| 19 |
program to kinda sit and spin waiting for a response before it |
| 20 |
continues. If you ever use your machine on DHCP, this is the best |
| 21 |
solution. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
After all, if you're ever connecting to your own hostname, you'll be |
| 24 |
using loopback anyway, right? |
