This is normal for Gnome, I get it all the time.  On my system I just set up a hostname (it doesn't bother the cable modem) and added the host name to my 127.0.0.1 line in the /etc/hosts.  so you'll have something like
 
127.0.0.1    localhost    localhost.localdomain    mypc

Subject: Fixed it... New issues

It offered to take me to the site, and look at an error page, but it was a new error, non repeated.  So I rebooted and now it boots in text mode, I log in, startx, and first I get a box...
 
Could not look up internet address for x1-6-00-80-ad-01-11-fa
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly
it may be possible to correct the problem by adding
x1-6-00-80-ad-01-11-fa to the file /etc/hosts.
 
HUH??????????  I have a cable modem if that means anything... so I couldn't assign it a static IP...
