Apparently supplying a hostname is the default. From man dhclient.conf: "By default, the DHCP server (sic?) requests the subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name, nis-domain, nis-servers, and ntp-servers options." I note that ip-address is not in the list, so perhaps I am missing something. In any case, if FC3's DHCP comes with a dhclient.conf file, I would like to know what is in it. I suppose I could find out by reinstalling, but I am sooooo tired of installing. I'm not terribly competent, I've done a lot of installing. -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* ONLY TURN UP ONCE." -- Death
