It sounds rather like a computer that doesn't know its hostname, or
its IP address. So can you elaborate on how you "fix" the address.
For example, my /etc/hosts file on ahost contains at a minimum:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ahost.corp ahost # 192.168.1.123
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
and the router's DHCP server issues 192.168.1.123 when asked by
a PC with ahost's MAC. (All other hosts' /etc/hosts files contain
192.168.1.123 ahost.corp ahost)
