Note Submitter: yeppikae at hotmail dot com ---- If you're doing all the above stuff on home computer, then chances are that $hostname="localhost" might not work. I have seen this happen few cases, including mine. Well, i was messing around with my home lan. Anyways make sure that you point $hostname to your machine name. That is if your machine name is say "MYSELF" then have $hostname="MYSELF". It does the trick! Reason for this - well as far as i understood if you assign a static private IP address to your NIC (i.e. you're not using DSL or cable, or better not connected to net) then the loopback doesn't point to your IP address but to 127.0.01. And localhost points to 127.0.01. Well the apparent mix up.
