X error and failed request

[Bakala2000]

Just installed Mandrake 7.2
When I open my Network Configuration (linuxconf) and try to set my host name...ip etc. I sometimes get a "Broken pipe" or

Error message from remadmin: X error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Error message from remadmin: Major opcode of failed request 61 (x_ClearArea)
Error message from remadmin: Resource id in failed requesst: 0x0
Error message from remadmin: serial of failed request: #### (numbers vary)
Error message from remadmin: Current serial number in output stream: #### (numbers vary)

->I get these when I try to open "Host name", "DNS", "NIS", and "IPX interface setup"
How can I fix this so I can change the info in there?
