In fact if you just set up your hostname, tmdns will use it, no need to hardcode it.
Does this fix helps you ?

local hostname missing in /etc/hosts causing kde performance problems.
It seams like it is "general" knowledge that you have to add
your own hostname to the /etc/hosts after installation to
make KDE happy. It takes long times (e.g. 5 seconds) to open
any window in kde if hostname is missing. If added they will
open immediatly.
I changed my /etc/hosts right after installation from:
127.0.0.1 localhost
to
127.0.0.1 localhost myfriend
(My hostname is myfriend)
I do not know if this is good, but my KDE is much faster
when opening windows and everything seams to still work.
This is true on all my three computers (Compaq laptop,
Dell Workstation and an old server).
For some reason KDE starts searching for this hostname
on the DNS every time a window is opened.....
Could Mandrake installation configure something similair
automatically.
If a fixed IP number is choosen, this entry is easy
to perform. It may be more difficult when using DHCP,
that most people use, since you need to add it on the
local interface.
