This sounds like the classic DNS problem. Make sure that you have host/ip
entries in /etc/hosts. An example /etc/hosts file might look like this:

127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.4.1		wakko.yourdomainname.com wakko
192.168.4.2		yakko.yourdomainname.com yakko
192.168.4.3		dot.yourdomainname.com dot

Or if you don't have a domain, the following will work:

127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.4.1		wakko
192.168.4.2		yakko
192.168.4.3		dot

Then all you need to do is "telnet wakko"

I have no idea.

PS - Wakko, Yakko, and Dot are characters from the Animaniacs cartoon
television show for those people who are wondering.
