Hi vitamin. Thank you for the link. I did find this article but was confused by the presence of 2 lines of 127. etc in the hosts file. Do I have to remove both? I cannot find any way of finding what 'yourdomain' is on my machine so I cannot complete this part of the solution below (no instructions for this in the article): 192.168.0.23 yourhost.yourdomain.com yourhost I have the 'yourhost' part, and I assume the DNS part is as I found under the network settings, or do I enter the 198.168.0.23 as above? I am quite new to Ubuntu and very new to Wine and 'making things work' on Ubuntu. Thanks again.
