------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-06 15:10 ------- I just gave a quick look to my saved config files when I was testing this, and it looks liek the checkbox in drakconnect for "Assign hostname from DHCP address" affects this config file entry. If I set that checkbox on, I would get NEEDHOSTNAME=yes, if I set it off, I would get NEEDHOSTNAME=no. Regardless of that entry, my hostname was still set to the dhcp server assigned name. Did this actually work for you? Perhaps you also need a HOSTNAME entry, which drakconnect does not set, in addition to DHCP_HOSTNAME in the same file. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: When I configure my network during rc1 installation, no matter what hostname I enter when configuring dhcp, the computer uses dhcppc8, which I assume is being assigned by the dhcp server. The address being assigned by the server is 192.168.0.9. Why ask for a hostname if it will not be used in the configuration files permanently?
