Hello Dirk and all,
here I'm running my Spider node (ver 1.57 build 612) at my home, in my 
LAN and behind a masquerading firewall/router with IPv4.

Doing the command 'set/external_ip" I receive the following error:

set/external_ip
set/external_ip Working...
(IK5ZUK) de IK5ZUK-6  4-Apr-2025 1243Z dxspider >
set/external_ip: unknown error IK5ZUK-6 hostname old = localhost, new = 
79.36.54.73, ignored

Below is the content of my /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

# 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

Could someone tell me what I can do to fix this issue? Am I the only one 
reporting this error?
