What is the output of
$ hostname -f
?

in /etc/hosts
the non-local ip should have your hostname.
the local ip should have localhost e.g.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.1.1 myhost.mydomain.tld
in /etc/sysconfig/network
set you hostname corresponding with the entry in /etc/hosts
and then reboot
