Hi. I'm a complete newbie with whm and server administration generally. While setting up my new dedicated server, I clicked on hostname under networking setup and understood from what it said that I should modify the hostname to one of my own making. I duly did this changing it from the original value (which was something random like 34jrwe3485.rsclientdns.com) to nylvi.rsclientdns.com.
Then prompted to add an A entry, I did so (or think I did).
I have to admit I didn't really know why I was doing this, but I did it. Pretty soon, I started to get the feeling I shouldn't have. I now received an email from cpanel detecting a dns problem. See below. Could someone advise me in simple terms on what I have done and how I should fix it (or reverse the change?) Thanks.

Problems with dns setup on nylvi.rsclientdns.com
The hostname (nylvi.rsclientdns.com) resolves to . It should resolve to 10.0.6.147. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
