[AG-TECH] AG2.2 networking configuration

[Randy Groves]

Maybe that is one of the problems I was having when I was trying to
install 2.2 on a disconnected Windows laptop.  I was getting strange host
values like '2' when the venue server was starting up.

What requirements are there for a full network connection?  What
requirements for a connection to a DNS server?  It seems that it should be
possible to install and run all of 2.2 on a standalone machine - I seem to
remember being able to do 2.1.2 that way.  Is setting the GLOBUS_HOSTNAME
manually one of the items that would be necessary?
