Subject:   hostname problem, apparently only in X

I seem to be seeing some new errors I haven't seen in other installs. This 
time its in a
term window in X. When I try to run cvsup cvsupfile I get the following 
message -

Cannot get IP address of my own host - - is it's host name correct?

I don't get this when I run from the console, only when in X. Maybe this 
is related to a
problem with X itself? When I shutdown X the messages on the console show 
-

waiting for xserver to shut down
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "cwiegand2:0" in "remove" command

when I enter hostname at the console I get 
cwiegand2

Any idea what I should do about this?
