Mandrake 9.0 (still) - laptop moving all over the place (i.e. IP address

having now problems when trying to use those tools from different places.
Reason: simple - unless I manually change the /etc/hosts with the specific IP
address of my FQDN, nothing would work.'
Suggestion... my hosts does this
127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1jamlap.linuxpda.biz jamlap
this way no matter where I go or what my IP number is . I always
resolve. proftpd won't start right no matter what I do if this isn't
true.
If I try the following two lines - one at a time - from the CLI, I get the
proper $IPADDR:
my_machine$ source /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info
my_machine$ ping $IPADDR
but if I try to use a script like this:
source /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info
$IPADDR machine.domain.extension machine
inside /etc/hosts, or cat-ed or -ed to /etc/hosts, it does not seem to
work?!?
Does anybody have a cleaner way of updating /etc/hosts from dhcp info?
Thx,
Stef
