    I will check if it works at home (I'm at work at present), but I believe I already tried something like this and didn't seem to work. I'll give it a try anyway.

    when you open /etc/host as root, you can see
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

    and now just add user32.supernet.pl behind localhost. In my /etc/hosts
    it looks like this :

    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost josephine

    I don't know, whether it is the only correct solution, but it works
    fine ;)
