Because you haven't restarted networking yet ("service network restart").
No, as I said in the part that you cut out:
service network restart to restart your network services without rebooting.
Went to runlevel 3 to do this so as to restart kde (which is needed to ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ see a change in the konsole prompt when I use hostname to change the host)
Not really needed. just start a new konsole session. I'm beginning to
$HOSTNAME is not changed w/o restarting the desktop
suspect that tmdns or worse yet zcip are "helping" you in some way.
I've thought of tmdns and zeroconf company because of the problems reported during the betas. Might try removing them. When I switch to the adsl account, also on a dhcp modem, however, I don't have the hostname being changed like this. Seems to be a difference between how the modems work.
personally I remove them both and then put them in the skip list for
urpmi (one MDK box and I run my own DNS, besides IMHO Novel networking
bytes.)
