run "env" and see if HOSTNAME is set. if not:
look for file /etc/HOSTNAME, this should contain the name, else edit it.
look for /etc/profile, the variable PS1 (the commandprompt) should look like this:
PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
the "\u@\h" part means user at host. also check if the "export" part at the bottom contains PS1 and HOSTNAME.

*btw, I dont mail. If you post here, you gotta expect the answer here.
