Change the entries in /etc/hosts to reflect the IP address changes. Also a FQDN contains three parts not two like you have set in /etc/hosts. There is a section in the admin manual that ships with SuSE and available in PDF format on the install media.
What's an FQDN?
Fully Qualified Domain Name. One that resolves to the same address no matter where the resolution is initiated.
By the way, A FQDN need not have three parts, it may have only two. Many people have ceased to use the conventional "www" component.
Should have stated that it -normally- has three parts when a company is serving more than one service but two will work.
Visit any of these:
<http://cygwin.com/> <http://netscape.com/> <http://mozilla.org/> <http://archive.org/>
Often, two-component DNS names in the Web will be redirected to another address with more components, but not all are.
