  I've just installed RH6.0 with GNOME on the laptop and it works
without problems. What is the name of your computer when it is
offline? It should be "localhost" or something that is an alias of the
localhost.  Symptoms from your description are simular to what happens
on networked (static IP) computers when they go offline.
