Sorry, I should have said it a bit more clearer. I have one computer connected directly to a cable modem (via ethernet, not usb).
My cable IP is dynamic. At system bootup, it gets the ip address and dns info. It is also setting my $HOSTNAME to the name associated with my IP. I would rather my $HOSTNAME stay to one I have setup on dyndns.org (or even just "localhost.localdomain"). I need to insert a "HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain" somewhere .... I have heard that some dhcp clients can run scripts when the things are changed or renewed / released. Does dhcpcd do that? I read the man page but didn't see anything about that kind of thing....
