Comment 2 for bug 346503

Ah, the linked guide makes sense. Thank you for the tip on that.

After setting my hostname back to a standard alpha-numeric name, it does resolve itself. (I did find a bug the first time that I did this, in which when changing the hostname caused /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus to be removed, but have been unable to replicate it yet. I'll report another bug, if needed, upon finding the cause though.)
