Thank You,
(I should have said I wanted to change my shell domain name, sorry.)
I CHANGED THIS FILE:
/etc/dhclient-eth0.conf
I ADDED:
supersede domain-name localhost.localdomain; (no quotes)
man dhcp-options says:
The domain-name data type specifies a domain name, which must not be
enclosed in double quotes. This data type is not used for any exist-
ing DHCP options. The domain name is stored just as if it were a text
option.
Do I really need a Nat router?
