I had a similar problem but with HP-UX on a workstation.
My problem was that after logging in, the machine tried to use
WORKSTATION:0.0
as the display
(For agruments sake say that the machine's IP is 199.1.1.4 and the name is
WORKSTATION)
but DNS was down so it could not resolve WORKSTATION to 199.1.1.4
however a text login worked since this does not DNS...
I don't know if your problem is anywhere close to this, but try seeing if
you can ping your machine by it's name, then by the IP.
If the former fails and the latter works, then I'd guess your name
resolution is causing the problem.
Hope this helps,
Ahbaid.
