Having just had a cable modem installed on my home machine I find I can't telnet/ftp to most machines. I can't ftp to ftp.debian.org. I know my domainname is not correct, and the dnslookup is causing the problem. How can I fix this? How do I change my domainname on a debian system?
Running Deb2, with dhcpcd. BTW the machine appears to be identified with my dynamically allocated ip address plus the cable modem's domain. *.*.*.*.edbd1.ab.wave.home.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ should this be my new domainname? Any help would be appreciated.
