So, I tried it...and it didn't happen for me. My hostname was originally set to f12k.greshko.com. I changed it to f21.greshko.com, then to localhost.localdomain, then to feddesk, and then back to f12k.greshko.com. At no time did the network disconnect. I believe Patrick may have missed the part about your using "system-control-network"...if that is of any value. :-) -- Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.
