Check your hosts file. Joanne, do I really need to answer to that rhetoric question? Well, my answer may have been too short. But the question was not for a "local host name" but for names within a network. I replied to the questions "Do I need to give different computers different names? They can't all be local.localhost, right?" I thought it would be clear to those who know enough about networking, that my answer was about the official hostname and not any host-only, local device names. Bruce's topic was a LAN setup. I stop this here from my side as this hair splitting does need to nothing.
