Yes. Check your hosts file in /etc/hosts

gksu gedit /etc/hosts

Make sure that the _1st_ line in the file is:

127.0.0.1 localhost

After that line you can add your machine host, example:
127.0.0.1 localhost machinename
(the same one you see right after the amperstand "@" when you bring up a
standard command line terminal; username at machinename:~$
then if you have a fixed IP, enter the IP of the machine:
192.168.2.100 machinename

example:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost machinename
192.168.2.100 machinename

Anything beyond that is pretty much up to you.

You might also want to recheck your System|Administration|Network
settings as well.
