Is this something I need or should correct (I can still watch my recordings
and access other db functionality).  Is this possibly the cause of the
problem I am having where my firewire capture no longer works?  If I should
fix it, how would I go about doing it?  I don't think I have ever set up a
hostname for this machine.

Thanks!
