The fm1185.bose.com is hostname of the host, correct? Try put: === 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost fm1185.bose.com
No, it's the name of the Windows XP machine where the VM is running. I always remove the hostname from the localhost line. Too many things break when the actual host name is present on the localhost line.

---Correct: ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.37 xxxxx0 XP Machine Here 192.168.0.7 xxxxx1 linux vm ---- The machine settings and name can also come from: /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default. No one has mentioned that.
Use "hostname "your_name" to set the hostname.
