Re: Receives error message when trying to start JVM

It is a little known fact that launching a VM and connecting to a remote
VM are really the same thing. When launching, the JPDA launches the
debuggee in a separate process and then establishes a remote connection
to it. So either way you go, the network configuration must be correct.

You are in luck since I, too, run Linux. What are the contents of your
/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, and /etc/nsswitch.conf files? If they are
like mine, the nsswitch.conf file will have a 'hosts' line like this:

hosts:      files dns

The resolv.conf file will have a bunch of nameserver lines to resolve
names not found in the hosts file. The hosts file will probably look
something like this (localhost == chip):

127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.0.2	chip
192.168.0.3	nuts

If your files are significantly different, let me know and we will try
to figure it out.
