Could not look up internet address

[Dan Gordon]

Hello,
Sorry but xfce is the only wm giving me this error.
When I start xfce I get the error.
could not look up internet address for iv1 it may be possible to correct 
this by adding iv1 to /etc/hosts
I understand what this means but what am I supposed to put in the hosts 
file ?
I'm looking for the correct syntax.
Thanks

Regards,
Dan Gordon
