Hi,
I was just provisioned with a cable modem/account, which uses dhcp, and
my bash prompt now looks like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
where the part starting with 00 is the HWaddr of eth0, according to
ifconfig. Heretofore, it has been '@localhost' on this single,
non-networked machine.

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.

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.

should be a less-kludgy way of dealing with it. Thanks.
