Sounds like you have a misconfigured name service on that machine.
If you are expecting your machine to do hostname lookup from
/etc/hosts, make sure that your /etc/svc.conf file has a line like the
following:

hosts=local

If you want to use an external name server, a line like this would be
better:

hosts=bind,local

In that case, you should make sure that your /etc/resolv.conf file
points at legitimate, functional name servers - if it doesn't, then
you will experience hangs while your resolver waits for its name
service to time out - it sounds to me like that's what's happening to
you now.
