There could be multiple reasons for this error. Try working through the following:

1) Make sure that the server you are installing onto has a static IP address or a permanently leased DHCP address.

2) Perform an NSLookup and verify that forward and reverse lookups are resolving to the same IP address and DNS name

3) Look in the Hosts file and remove the entry for 172.0.0.2 if it is present.

4) Check that eDir is listening on port 10636. If not, the machine could be missing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. Install the package compat-32bit-2006.1.25-11.2..rpm
