problem with hostname

When I first set up my box the system prompt read:
@:$
Recently it changed to :
@(none):$
When I need to invoke sudo I get:
@(none):~$ sudo
sudo: unable to resolve host
sudo: unable to resolve host
sudo: unable to resolve host
sudo: unable to resolve host
[sudo] password for :
I can set the hostname with:
sudo hostname
but the new hostname is not retained after reboot.
Shouldn't the following define my hostname?
@(none):~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
@(none):~$ cat /etc/hostname

How can I restore permanently?
TIA
Paul
