<div>May well be off the beaten track with this, just something I've seen before on the Q3 engine which is similar. What do you have in /etc/hosts. Just I've seen it before where you specify the IP, but it sends what it finds as the domain name in /etc/hosts. As I said, probably wrong, but might be worth a quick shot. Just wondering if the localhost bit is still throwing it off, is the other IP "available" propely locally to that machine?
