Eclipse for Mac - Logon failed - hostname unknown

[smith_john]

Hi,

Please help. Today my logons to SAP via eclipse stopped working, I get the message "Logon to system xxx failed (hostname 'Neil's-MacBook-Pro.local' unknown)"

This was working last week.

I've tested in windows and the connections work, but I know thats not exactly comparing apples with apples.

I'm using Eclipse Neon for Mac

ok, I fixed it... found a post in the archives.

The solution is to add an entry the Macs /etc/hosts file with 127.0.0.1 and My Computer Name
