Two things: 1) I think you have that backwards. The IP address should be first, and the hostname second. 2) Adding that to the hosts file does "fix" the problem, but it's basically ignoring the real issue -- that the host name resolution isn't working. This seems like more of a workaround to me than a solution... I shouldn't be adding entries in the hosts file for all of the machines on my network! Still helpful though, thanks for answering.
