Hi Steve,

The hosts files is correct I guess. It is like this:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 mcsoft3 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 mcsoft2

I tried 127.0.01 localhost. No difference.

The case sensitive is ok.

I'm really lost. Everything was tried.

Thanks for any other clue.

Marco Castro
