Hostname not fully qualified..

Hi Friends..

I have a small problem with the hostname of my system.I had installed Solaris 10 X86 on Vmware in my windows 2000 system.After booting of my solaris system,if i give check-hostname command it says ,,

hostname is not fully qualified ,,change the hostname to hostname.xxx.xxxxxx.com ..in /etc/hosts file

then if i change it to what it specified and again give check-hostname,,it says the hostname is fully qualified ,,,but when i reboot my machine and give check-hostname it again gives a msg to chage the hostname to hostname.xxx.xxxxxx.com and if see the files /etc/hosts it is also set to just hostname (#Added by DHCP) a msg after that.

I am not getting what is wrong with it?
