Try adding a DHCP_HOSTNAME= entry to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file with the hostname Comcast is providing you. The ifup script will send this when it does the DHCP negotiation instead of the hostname you've selected for your machine. JN On Sat, 2003-08-16 at 13:44, Rolf

You can set your $HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network to whatever you want and then set a different name in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. You get to have your hostname of choice and your internet works. On Sat, 2003-08-16 at 14:45, Rolf Pedersen wrote: James T. Nelson III wrote

Regardless of what the RPM info says, if you want to find out where the files in an RPM are, use 'rpm -ql package.rpm' and it will give you a list of the files with their complete path. I'm pretty sure that it even reflects the correct path if you use the '--relocate' parameter, but I haven't

[expert] Two dhcpcd clients running for one interface

You probably need to do a 'modprobe ide-floppy'. I actually tried putting 'hdc=ide-floppy' on the append line in lilo, but that didn't work for me. I don't use it very often, so I didn't play with it anymore; I just do the modprobe whenever I need floppy access. HTH Jim On Sat, 2002-10-19 at
