I used to get this error when I tried to talk to a machine that could
not reverse name lookup my machine.

Do you have named running on your machhine?  If not, the error might be coming
from somewhere in there.  If so, make sure that your machine is listed and
that the address and name information stored in there are accurate.
  
Hope that helps.
