Nor could I find any way to change the hostname in the web-based configuration tool. Anyway, I don't really care what my hostname is.

Yes, I know I can do it. But I really think it should straight-forward to set up a network connection when you have a DHCP server in a network. I just don't understand why it is not straight-forward for me on Fedora, while I have nothing to configure on the same computer, on the same network, using Windows XP. Thank you very much for your help. -- Julien Olivier <julo@xxxxxxxxxx>
