I dont know, try typing 'uname -n' that prints off the hostname your
using.
if by any chance your using a static dhcp address (thats what I tend to
use, but I configure my own dhcp server) you will always be assigned the
same address and therefore always get the same name and you could enter
that into /etc/hosts. another easy option would be to set a hostname on
the pc. just enter a name into /etc/hostname. That will set a perminent
hostname on the pc, then enter that into /etc/hosts
