Hi Jake,

This is easily cured.  

You will need to edit your /etc/hosts file.  When you open
it, you will see immediately a line that reads:

127.0.0.1  localhost

You need to add your machine name to this line:

127.0.0.1  <your_machine_name>.<your_domain> <your_machine_name>
localhost localhost.localdomain


My looks like this:

127.0.0.1  talewis.worldnet.att.net talewis localhost
localhost.localdomain

This should straighten things out.  Let me know if you have any more
trouble.
