Cannot ping with APAN

[Fredrik Wänglund]

Do you have the IP for the host you are trying to ping in /etc/host (or 
DNS) ??

<My opinion:>
Put IP-numbes in ONE place, /etc/hosts.
If you have IP's in Nagios, you will soon have a situation where a host 
moves and you will have different information in Nagios, /etc/hosts and DNS.
</My opinion:>
