Not if you are using RH. Basically try:

# hostname your_hostname
(update the in memory info)

# vi /etc/hosts
(more sure it looks something like...)
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
your_ip        your_hostname.your_domain your_hostname

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
(update the HOSTNAME line, this is the equivalent of /etc/hostname on
 other systems.)
HOSTNAME=your_hostname

No need to reboot, but if you want to check it, it should work now.

with a bit of luck :)
