Problem with squeezelite connecting to localhost (linux)

[Antoniop]

Hi all,
I've got a little problem to use squeezelite with lms running on the same host.
Let me explain :
When I'm on holidays, I usually don't have any network nor wifi. I run LMS on my laptop and (try to) use squeezelite as the player.
It works well when the wifi or the network is on. I run squeezelite, then on my browser, I go to http://localhost:9000/ and I can see squeezelite in the list of players.
But when I have no network, most of the time the case when I'm on holidays, I go to http://localhost:9000/ and can't see squeezelite.
I tried to run :
squeezelite-x86-64 -s localhost:9000
But it's the same.
I suspect it's not related to squeezelite but more to the network config on my laptop, but I can't figure out the problem.
Actually, I gave my laptop a name but don't remember how, so when I open a shell, I have the prompt
antonio@magneto

My /etc/hosts is :
127.0.0.1 localhost magneto

The ip adress of magneto is 127.0.0.1, the same as localhost.
Also, if I point to :
http://magneto:9000/
the page is not found.

Thanks a lot for help !

My /etc/hosts is :
127.0.0.1 localhost magneto

Hi thats wrong

# Syntax 4 /etc/hosts is :
#
# IP-Address  Full Qualified Hostname  Short Hostname
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       magneto

The "right" way to use two "names" in one line is like that. (mylocaldnsname is a "not working" sample)

127.0.0.1 magneto.mylocaldnsname magneto

You should also take a look @ /etc/networks if there is something "special" and do a

ifup eth0

- when no network is connected - may its down ?

Hi,
thanks a lot for your answer.
I changed /etc/hosts like that :

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 magneto

But I don't see any change, still can't connect squeezelite with LMS.
I disabled the firewall, just in case, but it makes no difference.
I also removed the line with magneto in /etc/hosts and rebooted but the name "magneto" still appears at the command prompt.

In /etc/networks I have

default 0.0.0.0
loopback 127.0.0.0
link-local 169.254.0.0

And ifup command doesn't give me anything special :

# ifup eth0

Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present.  Check cable?

Thanks !

Alright, I found out why it didn't work. I was using the wrong port with squeezelite !
It's not 9000, it's 3483 !

$ squeezelite-x86-64 -s localhost:3483

works fine.
Thanks a lot !
