Re: [gnome-list] gnome vs. network

I believe he meant your local machine(localhost), and not where you
dial into. ie.:
196.256.128.7	Bobbysmachine.bobbysplace.com	Bobbysmachine
or for loopback only, I believe:
127.0.0.1	localhost	lo
will work.

  For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit
within him?  In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except
the Spirit of God.  We have not received the spirit of the world but the
Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given
us.
