Well, I see in there you've got: > DEVICE=eth0 > BOOTPROTO=dhcp > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > ONBOOT=yes > MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes > NEEDHOSTNAME=no could it be that your ISP's DHCP server is setting your hostname?! I've never heard of that before, but they might be running some kind of WINS/Netbios proto that is changing your hostname. I don't know enough about that network-scripts setup to advise what to change, except maybe try putting "yes" for NEEDHOSTNAME, but I would seriously recommend putting something between your ISP and your wkstn, like a router firewall that would negotiate the connection for you.
