If it helps, here are my settings to accomplish that:

thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.1.1	dur.bounceme.net	dur

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ cat /etc/hostname 
dur
thufir at dur:~$ 

although I wonder that maybe that hostname file shouldn't be set to 
dur.bounceme.net?  Anyhow, seems to work, I guess because dur is in /etc/
hosts.  Hmm, actually, looking at the IP addresses for localhost versus 
dur in /etc/hosts makes me wonder if that's correct...

just be sure to acquire a FQDN from no-ip.com or a similar provider.


HTH,
