Well, I'm not entirely sure what that means, but everything I'm doing
here is all on the same machine, and the hostname of that machine is
Bedlum.

I guess my inexperience here is really going to get in the way, since
I have no idea of what you are talking about here, sorry! The only
way I would be able to help you help me is if you had some specific
questions, or commands you wanted me to run. Otherwise I might just
have to start all over from scratch again. Again, sorry I can't be of
more help here.
