Why reboot? Run "service network restart" instead.

Not necessarily. That is info about the network you've put in using
system-config-network.

What happens if you run "host execlinux"? If you get something like
[root@dragon ~]# host execlinux
Host execlinux not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
then the host name is not getting into DNS.
What happens when you ping the appropriate IP address? If you get
nothing back from pinging the host name (the apparent resonse here),
that suggests that the host name is set up correctly and you are
getting domain name resolution. However, you should get some sort of
complaint from ping. Try "ping -c 5". That will send five ICMP
packets, and complain if you don't get a response. e.g:
[root@dragon ~]# ping -c 5 phoenix
PING phoenix.localdomain (192.168.1.47) 56(84) bytes of data.
From dragon (192.168.1.4) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From dragon (192.168.1.4) icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From dragon (192.168.1.4) icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
From dragon (192.168.1.4) icmp_seq=5 Destination Host Unreachable
--- phoenix.localdomain ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time 3999ms
, pipe 3
Phoenix resolved correctly, but the host is down, so it is not
reachable.
