I would suspect that changing the host name in /etc/hosts and
/etc/sysconfig/network may solve the problem.  You can also make an
immediate change by typing "hostname co.dsm.org" as root.

The "10.10.10.10" is a placeholder for your machine's IP address.
(Network 10.x is used for private networks.)  You can use /sbin/ifconfig to
determine your interface's IP address.
