Or perhaps the 'hostname' being derived from the runtime environment is
  a private IP address that is not routable.  At any rate, make sure
that the above property is set with an FQDN that resolves both locally
and remotely, or is an IP address that is routable from both sides.
Typically though, you need an FQDN...
