Hi Devin I'm also on a cable modem and have had the same problem. This works for me :
Here is my /etc/hosts ( xxxxxxx = your_hostname ) # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 xxxxxxx localhost.localdomain localhost Brgds Devin Henderson wrote:
Just installed RH 8.0. Every time I boot my hostname changes from localhost.localdomain to x1-6-00-08-0e-d5-de-77. During boot the line 'Setting hostname localhost.localdomains [OK]' appears but when the OS is finally booted the hostname is wrong again. I checked the files in /etc that I thought would be involved but they all look correct with localhost.localdomain as the hostname. I have a cable modem hooked up through USB. could this somehow be resetting the hostname? How can I get it to stay localhost.localdomain? I'm getting an error every time I login that says the address x1-6-00-08-0e-d5-de-77 could not be found and I have to click 'Login anyway'. Can anyone help? Thanks.
