Hostname supplied by dialup server... question

[Bryan Taylor]

Here's a small problem I have...

 

I am dialing up my ISP with ppp 2.2.0f using Linux 2.0.35kernel Slackware 3.6.0

My ISP uses dynamic IP addressing and also sets a hostname of sorts to my machine when connecting in the form of:

dialup##.nf.sympatico.ca

I set my machine here as victory.overnite.com, victory.nf.sympatico.ca, or as just victory..... when I try to ftp into their server to update my page, I cannot log in because the server uses the dialup##.nf.... name to verify I am connected inside their network and I cannot get in... Does anyone know how I can get the machine to accept the hostname they set me upon dialup, and still leave my setting of victory.overnite.com intact???

 

Thanks in advance
