    Hi everyone.
    What does this warning message mean:

    unable to lookup notebook-johannes via gethostbyname()

    It happens when I use sudo.
    The background: I have got a static IP from my university, and I have
    entered it into /etc/network/interfaces. I have also put my hostname
    (notebook-johannes) in /etc/hostname. What else do I need to do to get
    rid of this message?

    Thanks,
    joerg
