Which makes me suspect your entire network is misconfigured.
The only time my bash prompt got changed such as yours was early
on in my DSL experience (2 years ago). Even then I had always
edited /etc/bashrc to eliminate 'localhost' from my bash prompt.
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1=" \W \\$ " I knew there was
somethin wrong when I got a promtp like yours, and my dsl
connection was fubar'd at the same time.
Maybe you've got hostname screwed up somewhere along the line?
I don't fool with it because it can break so many things.
There's several hands on this list that would be better at helpin
you than me.
