Edit /etc/hosts and assign the real hostname to the real IP address, if you have a fixed IP on the machine. If the IP is dynamic, then put the real hostname on the same line as localhost. # My /etc/hosts file, for dynamic IP 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost linuxbox.localdomain linuxbox # My /etc/hosts file, for static IP 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 linuxbox.localdomain linuxbox Then run the 'hostname' command to set the hostname and edit /etc/sysconfig/network to set the hostname so that it will be preserved through network restarts.
