Michael,
I was having a similar problem, until someone told me yesterday that I
should check my /etc/hosts file.  economatics.co.uk should follow the ip
address in that file.  I had "server.company.com" then "company.com"
and all I wanted was "kjcox@company.com".  I just reversed the two.
Check this and see if it works.  I'm just a newbie myself.
Hope that helps.
KJ
