In HOSTS.LIST change 162 to LOCALHOST.  In $AIPS_ROOT/DA00 edit the 
files DADEVS.LIST and NETSP to make the same change.  Rename the 
directory in $AIPS_ROOT/DA00 from 162 to LOCALHOST.  Edit the files 
$AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH and LOGIN.CSH to set LAPTOP to YES rather than NO.

I do not know where your data directory is but is it is in a standard 
place change its name from 162_1 to LOCALHOST_1 also.  It may be in 
$AIPS_ROOT/DATA/.

The question about laptops in the install was designed for folks in your 
situation who get a different host name on each start up.
