Try setting DHCP_HOSTNAME in the interface config file. For example, in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: # Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=no DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:02:A5:F4:91:5E ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=mikkel
I've tried that, and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried DHCP_HOSTNAME=myhost and DHCP_HOSTNAME=myhost.mydomain and DHCP_HOSTNAME="myhost.mydomain" Our IT department is a "Windows only" department. I'm wondering if the DNS server picks up the (Windows) PC hostnames from an SMB advertisement of some sort. Is there some way to just advertise my hostname, or do I have to actually export some filesystem via Samba? --wpd
