You should not have your ISP's hostname on the same line as your local
address, (127.0.0.1). That makes Gnome think that it is your machine's
hostname. Here's mine:
127.0.0.1 monachos localhost.localdomain localhost
where monachos is the name I've given this machine. It could read simply:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost.
I know it used to be the practice with some to add lines in /etc/hosts with
the names and addresses of other hosts. But now this is usually done only
in /etc/resolv.conf
