Revision history [back]

When you refer to a host by hostname (in your example, you seem to be using hyon-no1-desktop), you must have some way to resolve that hostname to an IP address (e.g., using DNS, Avahi or /etc/hosts).

When your refer to a host by IP address (like 10.0.1.25), you shouldn't have to enter that IP into /etc/hosts.
