It may be possible to correct the by adding 
setanta to the file /etc/hosts on your system.
Yes its possible to append the host name in the hosts file, but it isnt an elegant solution.

In a nutshell, it is unqualified domain name issue, a quick way to fix is to put a similar entry in the /etc/rc.conf file:

hostname="machine.localnet"

Check my posts in the following thread as reference:

Also, is there and command to list the hardware? I used dmesg, but I can't find much stuff on it. Particularly, I'm looking to see what kind of sound card is in the laptop, if any.
Hardware info can be checked with dmesg, there are a few more:

pciconf -lv (look for class audio)
sysctl -a | grep %desc
devinfo

Finally, I keep getting the error message "write failed, filesystem is full", even though I've deleted a lot of stuff from my laptop. There's only two users on it, root and "cathal". How do you change the disk space given to each user?
Afaik, if the disk quota service doesnt not run, it isnt possible, any user can max out his disk usage.
