> That was the file.....It contained:

'man hosts':
     The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the net-
     work.  For each host a single line should be present with the following
     information:

           Internet address
           official host name
           aliases

> 63.174.216.138   jpersinger.greenmachine.net jpersinger

That is the IP address of your machine, the official (full) name of the
machine, then a single alias.

In order to set up a local network, you need to make sure that all of
the machines on the network exist in that /etc/hosts file, and that each
machine has a complete copy of the /etc/hosts file.
