Hi Samuel- > I have added the last line to the following /etc/hosts file, but IDV still > gives the same error: > # Do not remove the following line, or various programs > # that require network functionality will fail. > ::1 EBE271-22LIN.cup.edu EBE271-22LIN localhost.localdomain > localhos > t > 127.0.0.1 localhost Let me first say that we don't use IPV6 here, so in some cases I'm making educated guesses based on knowledge of IPV4 and what I found on Google. And I'm assuming you are indeed set up to use IPV6 on this machine. The Java version that the IDV uses should handle both IPV4 & IPV6. I'm guessing that something still is not right in the /etc/hosts table and that it is still failing on the first line. - Was the first line added automatically or did you add it in manually? Typically, I would expect it to be: ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost (with tabs between fields) and have the local name info (EBE271-22LIN.cup.edu) be listed separately. You could try changing that, restarting you ethernet interface and seeing if that works. You could try to use the following. Edit the runIDV script and insert the property to prefer IPV4: command="java -Xmx512m -Didv.enableStereo=false -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar ${dirname}/idv.jar $*" to see if it will ignore the IPV6 line. Give either (or both) of those a try and see if you get further.
