You can manually repair that. I found FC6 fouled up the hosts file
after I used the network configuration GUI to set the hostname. The
loopback line for IPv4 disappeared, leaving just the IPv6 one behind.
My issue is with resolv.conf and the fact that the windows
dns servers are wrong. On the neighbor Windows box the dns servers are
accessed dynamically. How can I duplicate this but keep my static address?
man dhclient.conf
You can request certain information (e.g. the DNS servers), and set
others yourself (e.g. your IP).
