If your network interfaces use DHCP, you can configure the DHCP server to assign you a hostname in various ways, assuming that you can influence it. I can send an example if you need it, but I don't have it here. I am in the same situation, and as I move from network to network, my system gets a new hostname.. > So it really did not change the name.
