I suggest you change your system to have a sane hostname, e.g.:

# cat /etc/hostname
mybox

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       mybox
127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain

Then try `ping mybox` to see if it went okay.

This way programs trying to resolve your machine's hostname won't
hang/time-out like gnome does and it might solve your canna problems as
well.
