the 'hostname' which i renamed to localdomain.localhost
to find it (with fedora), go to system settings then go to 'network' and then click on the 'DNS' tab. there you will see 'hostname', 'primary dns', 'secondary dns', etc. I changed my hostname, and now when I login it says it can't find 'localdomain.localhost'. I will try to get a screen shot for you guys.
Right now I'm going to try getting rid of the hostname and see if that helps.

is your network domain .localhost?
How about naming it something else? like, outerlimits
then try pinging.
check /etc/resolv.conf, paste here.

I believe I got it to work. I cleared the host name field, and then saved it. I believe it then put in the default. Anyway, the message doesn't come up anymore.
