Do you not have a real IP attached to a NIC, other than the loopback?

Thanks for help but no solution yet

Have followed http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Setup_Your_FQDN to set up it all but the problem still exists.

Because that sets it manually, but it won't survive a reboot. That's what the /etc/conf.d/ files are for (e.g. domainame, hostname and net) and the file /etc/hosts. If you've set all those files, maybe try a reboot and see what happens.

Strange problem, root is able to se the hostname but not a regular user...

Thnx anyway!
