What entries do you have for that machine in the /etc/hosts file?
 
I would sat that one of two things happened.

1. Someone changed the hostname, and it did not get updated to the ODM, thus a reboot will load what the ODM has.
2. There is an entry in one of the /etc/rc.*net files that is "re-naming" you machine. It would look something like this:

/bin/hostname localhost
