Redhat tends to set the up the /etc/hosts to have only the loopback line, ie:

127.0.0.1  localhost localhost

Sometimes, the installer takes the hostname that you provide it and puts it on the same line, ie:

127.0.0.1  hostname localhost localhost

That would be the standard setup for DHCP-driven computers. For statically allocated IP addresses, the idea is to put the hostname on the line with the real ip address, ie:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
192.168.0.20 hostname hostname.mynet

I would try either the second or the third method

I know what this sounds like, but I've forgotten how to fix it, and I didn't manage to google the answer right up.

This has something to do with networking, with the way /etc/hosts is configured on certain systems out of the box. You have to make a minor change to /etc/hosts to get the plugin GUIs working.

Quite what that minor change is, I wish I could remember. I think it has something to do with there not being a proper entry for localhost, but some of the other things I googled up seem to implicate ipv6 too.
