PDVA 6.6.1 - Unable to set FQDN

Have just imported the Virtual Appliance of PDVA 6.6.1 and having got through to the setup (after logging in as root), it always fails on setting the network up with the error unable to set FQDN.  Having been through numerous iterations of setting different FQDN's i cannot get past this point (static settings or DHCP).  exiting the wizard and running yast i can setup  the VM network card with dhcp or static address and can access the local DNS/DFG/DC's etc without issue. My question is has anyone got to this point and failed before?
