Hi,

> 192.168.0.4             falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar falahmizar

> 192.168.0.4             falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar falahmizar

Have you tried:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.2 khazad.tele2.fr khazad
192.168.0.4     falahmizar.tele2.fr falahmizar

I seem to remember reading somewhere that associating localhost with the 
machine's real IP (or was it associating the machine's real name with 
127.0.0.1?) can cause problems for some programs.
