1) If I remove the host name that the dhcp server assigns from the '/etc/hosts' file, sendmail boots up with alacrity. However, gnome gives me that error message that it can't resolve the host name 'dhcppc1'. What to do?

Furthermore the error suggested that this might cause internet problems. As suggested, I put the hostname in the /etc/hosts file, and Gnome boots up flawlessly now. Unfortunately a new side effect has begun happening; sendmail takes forever to give me the '[OK]' on bootup. Any suggestions?
