I use cox.net at home. I don't have any problems with cox and my linux box. Except for when their services go down and they blame it on my machine.
In my /etc/sysconfig/network file i have this info: NETWORKING=yes #DHCP_HOSTNAME=cooldaddy HOSTNAME=cooldaddy the first is a comment the second is where my hostname comes from. I specify it myself. But it's not accessible from the outside world. Actually, I just checked. I also hardcode my IP address. I did have DHCPCD on at one time and if I remember correctly a person can specify their hostname with the dhcpcd -h option. Hope this helps. -- Brad Bendily - CNA On Sat, 10 Aug 2002, Terry Stockdale wrote: > IFIRC, back in the days of RH70 and @Home, folks had to use pump instead of > dhcpcd. You might try that.
