Did you give it an IP?

127.0.0.1    localhost.your.domain     localhost
ww.xx.yy.zz    hostname.your.domain     hostname
ww.xx.yy.zz    hostname.your.domain.

Pay careful attention to the periods.  ww.xx.yy.zz is your IP address -- the
rest should be obvious.

Might not be your problem, but this should probably be configured this way
in any event.
