"hostname=My-Box-Name" (this is what sets your hostname in memory - man hostname) and if it doesn't connect anymore then get a DSL/CABLE router-firewall and let it set the hostname on that connection. If your connection works you may just put it in a script and re-run it after the network scripts have run. DHCP is a good thing but sometimes it can be a pain. Too bad you don't have a static address.....dang cable service.
