Looks like your ISP or local DHCP server is setting your hostname. By default dhclient asks to be assigned a new hostname. man dhclient.conf shows you can create an /etc/dhclient.conf with a "request" line that excludes host-name, that should stop it getting set.
Thanks, Andy and Chris. I do not have any /etc/dhclient.conf file. A reboot does not improve the situation.
