Aparently you get your System name from DHCP, if there's only a fixed IP, it
can't find the name.

You should take care of the following:

- /etc/resolv.conf
  for entry hosts:   files should be before dns

- /etc/hosts
  create an entry with FQDN and hostname

This should work as long as your configuration is not overwritten by dhcpd.
