Here is the output you asked me. Please ask me if you need something else.
For Thierry: indeed there is an option to set the hostname for dhcp, but (for what I
understand) it does not work: I tried to put "par.com" and rebooted. The hostname
command
says "dhcppc0". I think I should reopen the bug. If not, please forgive me.
Here goes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mau]$ cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhc*leases
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 192.168.1.33;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 259200;

Hello.
I have a router and I use drakconnect to set up my adsl connection with dhcp.
THE PROBLEM:
Drakconnect apparently sets up something wrong, since kde windows take
about 5 seconds to open, and gnome complains that /etc/hosts is wrong.
On the other hand, if I choose a static ip assignment and manual DNS
assignment (as opposed to dhcp), windows open instantly. The difference is
huge.
POSSIBLE REASONS:
I'm no expert, but I am going to report what others told me. :-)
1)
Some kde developer told me it must be a problem not in dhcp, but in dns.
unfortunately, drakconnect doesn't allow me to specify dns if I choose dhcp.
2)
Someone else told me that the hostname does not resolve because the
/etc/hosts file produced by drakconnect is broken, and I should manually
specify a fully qualified hostname in /etc/hosts, together with dhcp. He told me
that dhcp allows the hostname to be specified OR assigned automatically. But
it seems to me that drakconnect does not allow a hostname to be specified with
dhcp. Maybe this is the problem.
I hope I' ve been of help.
cheers!
