         Here is my /etc/hosts files from 10.04 Lucid. Check and see if 
your 10.04 has the same thing:

karl at Lucid:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.1.1    Lucid

Now go back to your 9.10 and see what /etc/hosts has in it. Make your 
10.04 like your 9.10 and try it again. Hope this will fix your problem :-)
