Probably a name resolving issue. Try the following:
(1) Make sure /etc/hosts has the correct IP address and hostname for
your host.
(2) Make sure both IP address and hostname resolve correctly ("host
<IPaddress>" and "host <hostname>" should give you the same output)
(2a) You may want to check /etc/netsvc.conf, you should probably see a
line similar to "hosts=local,bind" for DNS, or "hosts=local" or
nothing for no DNS.
(3) Reboot your system (it may not be necessary but it's better to
start with a clean record).
I hope this is helpful. If not, post exact error message and TCPIP
setup details.
