You need to set up the HOSTS file.
Bit complicated because you do not have write permissions.
I found the following which at least got my Intranet working the way it should.
ssh as root and chown the files/directories as needed.
ie... from the command line:
[prompt] $ ssh root@some_server
[root@some_server] # chown -R <user's name>:<user's group> some_directory
[root@some_server] # chown <user's name>:<user's group> some_file
after changing the owner, the user can now change permissions on those files. you as root should be able to change permissions of those files.
