Thanks to all, I got it working, I didn't know that you could use ${PWD}, the doc only mentioned \w or \W. But I still couldn't get rid of the ip address, I would like to replace it with the server name and I replace it in my /etc/sysconfig/network/HOSTNAME, but it still shows, any ideas?prompt question:
I'm using dsl modem, so the ip address is dynamic, and the prompt showed the ip address, how can I change it to my computer name? I added it to my /etc/host but I still got the ip address. This is what I have in my prompt.

Thanks in advance for your comment/suggestion

I always put the following line in my ~/.bashrc
PS1=`echo "("'${PWD}'") "`
Works for me.
Greeting, Niels.
Took me a bit to crunch through that one...
It's equivalent to:
PS1='(${PWD})\$ '
