Your whole network's not getting started.
Go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and #network start
Look for errors & fix them.
If it says, "Network Starting: [OK]" run ifconfig. You will see info on lo &
ethx's. Then ensure there are symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d & rc5.d called
S10network. If you have a firewalling script, put a symlink in these folders
called S08firewalling (pointing to your script) and it will start before the
network.
Add host mappings to your hosts file. IP then name.domain.com, as with localhost.
