I've seen this kind of error message from Gnome lots. It's quite obnoxious. I've never tracked down why exactly it has to give you this annoying message, but, if I remember right, you can put a line in your /etc/hosts file like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 1063 1063 must be some sort of hostname you are getting from your DHCP server.
