You don't have to remove the loopback line, only the reference to the machines host name in that line... so instead of having.... 127.0.0.1 mymachinename localhost.localdomain localhost You only need/want.... 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.1 mymachinename.mydomain.com mymachinename of course you'll use your correct ip address, etc.... having the host name in the loopback line causes all sorts of problems with other things as well and I am not sure why it's put there in the first place.
