Ricky:
Seems that you have specified wrong network setting during installation..
I am not sure but i think you should assign static address to to your network card. and also look for your /etc/hosts  file and check that there should be a entry like
--- Code: --- 127.0.0.1   localhost   localhost.localdomain    localhost
--- End code ---
if not then give one..

dragoncity99:
The login u refer to is it in text mode or in GUI mode?

IKnownothing:
To the first reply i didnt set anything up cause im not on a network its just personal use.

The second reply the login is text

dragoncity99:
Do u face the flickering problem when u use the text mode environment?

Have u tried reinstalling the whole OS before?
