Can't connect to localhost

[David]

I'm wondering if this (from /etc/hosts) is the problem:

127.0.0.1       localhost       narwhale
192.168.25.148  narwhale        # Mark's new P4

Take 'narwhale' out of the localhost line, see if that does it.  I've seen 
issues where having the 'real' hostname in the same line as localhost 
cause odd issues like this.
