I've changed my local DNS server so that 192.168.1.2 now resolves correctly to cherry2000.mydomain.org.uk, but amcheck is still giving the 'did not resolve' error.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks to Jon who sent me a 'gethostbyname' program, I identified an issue with my /etc/hosts file. It contained

        127.0.0.1       localhost       cherry2000.mydomain.org.uk
        192.168.1.2     cherry2000.mydomain.org.uk      cherry2000

which I now realise was wrong. Removing the cherry2000.mydomain.org.uk from the localhost fixed it.

Moral of the story: get the simple things right first...

cheers

Chris
