This is a window focus issue.  Run startconsole with the "-xnologo" 
option.  This will not display the splash screen, and you will see the 
login dialog that was hidden behind it.  For troubleshooting Console, 
you can run it with the "-D" option.  This will output debug messages to 
stdout.

You should make sure that both forward and reverse lookup work for this 
hostname.  Also ensure that domainname returns the correcct domain name 
of your box.
