Hi,

I installed inspircd locally for testing purposes. Every time I
connect to it with localhost:6667 I get the following error
message:

    21:41 !irc.local *** Looking up your hostname...
    21:42 !irc.local *** Could not resolve your hostname: Request timed out; using your IP address (127.0.0.1) instead.
    21:42 !irc.local Welcome to Localnet!

It connects fine, just takes a small (half minute or so) but
annoying timeout.

My /etc/hosts file includes localhost:

    127.0.0.1	localhost
    192.168.2.17	asp

I use a static setup (no dhcp).

If you need more information please ask.

Thanks,
Simon
