Here is my /etc/hosts file ....

IP-Address  Full-Qualified-Hostname  Short-Hostname
#

127.0.0.1    localhost

# special IPv6 addresses
::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

fe00::0         ipv6-localnet

ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2         ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3         ipv6-allhosts

80.37.35.181       linux.local     linux

Well I don't know if that host address is right ...
When I installed the 3com router for adsl ...
  my address in the shell changed from    nnnnnnn at linux  to nnnnnnn at unit0
       and this seems to be giving me some recognition problems when I 
try to print
        :::: but that is another problem (or maybe not)

Downloading yesterday at 22 kb/s ..... something is wrong here.
