You want to play with the options in /etc/dhclient.conf. I have supersede host-name and supersede domain-name in mine. However, I don't know if you can use supersede domain-name ""; as a valid option. The better way is probably to include a search line in resolv.conf for the domain you are going to use (or the domain your ISP gives you). Or get a free one from dyndns.org (or any other free ones). Everyone should really use FQDN - short names suck and make people lazy. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
