It appears your system hostname isn't resolving.

Though I don't know your problem in particular, I'd suggest:

1. Try "host D-128-95-26-112" or "nslookup D-128-95-26-112"
1a. If it succeeds, then I don't know what is wrong.
1b. If it fails, somehow your name resolution is messed up.
2. Check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure there's a line like:
"search dhcp.washington.edu"
2a. If there is, I'm again confused.
2b. If there isn't, add one and then try from step 1 again.  :)

Depending on your linux, you can probably also get the system to 
reconfigure your hostname using some /etc/init.d'ish script.
