I knew it had to be something with those files indeed.. and I just found
it (after going through about 500 topics one all kinds of non-compiling
programs but none ever solved)..

Simple solution:  the file exists (thats why I was surprised by the
error), but it only had this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost

needed to ass the netbios name of my machine to it... and then it worked..

tnx for the very speedy response anyhow! :)
