so something is messing with your hostname... check maybe the /etc/hosts file for strange settings. also check your network settings and how names get resolved (dns etc.)

/etc/hosts looks OK:

Code:
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost

I'll check the DNS...

Well, I didn't fix it myself but now it works...

I was running originally on a B.T. Home Hub 2 (awful piece of useless dog's doings: avoid) using BT Broadband. On Friday I upgraded to a B.T. Hub3 & Infinity broadband (great speeds: 34MBps down, 7.8MBps up) & now it no longer resolves to the Airport ID. Job done.

Thanks to all for their help.
