    "Event ID 6482, Office Sharepoint Server" error in Application Log

     Running MOSS 2007 on Windows Server 2003 R2, everything fully patched via MU. MOSS has SP1 applied to both WSS and MOSS sides, as well as the Infrastructure updates.
    =============
    I just did a clean re-install of MOSS (reformatted HD, reinstall OS, applied SP's and installed .NET 2 and 3, then MOSS then ran MU and installed SP1 and Infrastructure Updates).  I used the Complete Option during the install, although everything is on one server; may add more later.  MOSS installed on
    E drive and index and DB's are on F drive.  Did initial configuration and am getting this error:

    ============
    Did a search on EventID.net, but no help there; the referenced hotfixes aren't specifically this error.

    Any ideas?  If it helps, I did a visual on c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and can see that HOSTS is not there.
