Obviously "epohost" doesn't fulfill the criteria to be a FQDN.
Choose a random, non-conflicting domain name for your LAN. And set the 
HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network accordingly. For instance:

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.1.105      epowork.olsen.intra   epowork
192.168.1.125      epohost.olsen.intra     epohost

/etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=epohost.olsen.intra
GATEWAY=192.168.1.100
