When I try using TVINI or display a map, I get an error, which I include at the end of this message. Looks like AIPS does not recognize this computer as a host...

This is good news - we now have the shared memory licked and have moved 
on to the next issu.  It appears that your machine does not recognize 
itself an an entity on the internet.  It would also appear that you did 
not say yes when the install proc asked if you were on a laptop.  A yes 
answer would probably have solved the first issue.  Changing to a yes 
answer would involve renaming disk areas and editing several files - the 
alternative is to start aips saying

  aips tv=local

(actually there is more grammar with local - say help aips for further 
details or see Chapter 2 of the CookBook).  This should avoid the 
internet lookup issues by using a Unix socket rather than an Inet one.
