What worked was changing the line 

HOSTNAME=farzaan.localdomain

to 

HOSTNAME=farzaan

in /etc/sysconfig/network and restarting network.

It really helps to have the same OS installed on two machines, one can
compare files and work out problems easier.

thanx for the response, 

regards,

Sharukh.

btw, I have by now installed pcqlinux atleast half a dozen times (on
different machines) but everytime, despite setting the hostname at the time
of the install, I have had to manually add the hostname to
/etc/sysconfig/network. Anyone else notice this ?
