- Oh geez.. Mine does the same thing too:
-
- csulx: /data2/home/chucki$ irc ChuckiTwo csulx.weber.edu
-
- *** Connecting to port 6667 of server csulx
- *** IRC, IRC, IRC ChuckiTwo
- [Stuff deleted]
-
- *** ChuckiTwo is chucki@csulx (Oh, sweet child of mine)
- *** on irc via csulx.weber.edu (Weber State College, Odgen, Utah)
- *** ChuckiTwo is not idle
-
-
- So.. what is the problemo? yes, you *can* make it say localhost, but i
- still think they may put
-
- 137.190.16.1 csulx.weber.edu csulx csulx.cs.weber.edu
-
- in the /etc/hosts
