[QUOTE="heiko_s, post: 1369293, member: 63162"] I couldn't find anything about your issue on google but as it says "unknown local host name" it might be worth a try to assign a new hostname to your mac. System Name can be set under "Preferences" -> "Sharing", and the hostname setting is under "Edit..." in the same window. (to be sure, do a reboot when you are done) Another thing worth checking, might be your hosts file under /etc/hosts. Its contents should look like this: To view your hostfile, open a terminal window and enter "nano /etc/hosts". To exit nano, hit Ctrl-X. [/QUOTE]
