In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: I think you have to have a real ip address to do with your name -- either a static one to use with ppp, or a dynamic one assigned via ppp -- static is better as you can put it in your host file and then if your machine is not named localhost your problems should be solved.
