Use the control-panel and add a hostname and domain under
the Modules/Network Configurator. You will probably also
want to setup your nameservers from your ISP or wherever
while you're at it.

This can also be done manually by editing /etc/HOSTNAME,
/etc/sysconfig/networks and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
but for a beginner this is the easiest method.
