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.

man dhclient.conf
You can request certain information (e.g. the DNS servers), and set
others yourself (e.g. your IP).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
