you may need to enable DNS on your router/modem

Check out your /etc/hosts has a entry for your loopback.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Also tell me wht are you getting your local domain name as even if you are not getting it from DNS server???

Over to your DNS server you must have correct entry for your machine IP for forward & reverse lookup, Do checkup that also.
