you shoul change the /etc/hosts file, and add line:
127.0.0.1 localhost [you_machine_name]
this should fix the problem

Subject: [newbie] changed hostname, bad result
I took the advice given me and changed my hostname using linuxconf. Now,
when the system boots up, the logon manager (or whatever it is called) does
not start. I can start x and kde, but when i start kde, the terminal says
"cannot find own hostname: system is severely misconfigured". Any help (who
know what they are talking about and won't give me advice that will
"severely
misconfigure" my system again) would be greatly appreciated.
