ah, yes I am using linux. My machine is simply named localhost.localdomain. The only time this ever happens is when i connect to another 2.8.x limewire client, as soon as i connect to the other client my machine drops the connection and connects to itself for some reason. It's not really a big problem, seeing as how extremely rare it is to connect to another 2.8.x client, but it is kind of annoying sometimes.
