Alfresco not starting failed to get IP address Solved

A new installation of Alfresco and I got

Caused by: org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 03140000 Failed to get server IP address

Now the IP address was fine.
Obtained via DHCP

The system originally worked as the router supplied the IP address. The machine could surf the web, download Alfresco, but it would load

I added the name of the machine to /etc/hostnames

And it worked.
