Code:
#lugo The next line is all that was in the file. I am commenting it out.
#127.0.0.1      debian  localhost
#
#lugo Put in next block to try to get networking.
127.0.0.1      localhost
192.168.1.1    debian.domain.org      debian
192.168.1.2    apricot.domain.org      apricot
This is mine but on Debian.

At the very least your /etc/hosts file should read:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

If you have changed your hostname and your domain then you will have to make some minor changes.

For example we'll pretend your hostname is my_hostname and your domain is my_domain.com , then your /etc/hosts would read:


127.0.0.1 my_hostname.my_domain.com localhost.localdomain localhost my_hostname
