I also use Flashcom - during install, I didn't select to setup a DSL/ADSL
connection - I selected a LAN connection. This works fine with Flashcom. As
for the host name, I think you can use a generic 'computer.flashcom.com'
(don't key the quotes) - I don't think it matters too much. You don't have
to re-install. Use DrakConf and set up a new internet connection.
