Wayne, Road Runner has always assigned hostnames to all of their DHCP clients and so does every other ISP that uses DHCP that I know of. This is standard practice and is how they track the systems on their network. You can override this functionality, but it sounds like your problem is with a Re

So are you saying Xandros is a good thing? Are you recommending that we purchase a copy? Even though RedHat has problems, you prefer it over other distributions. Do you think Xandros is superior to Libranet, or Mandrake? Also I thought Xandros cost $99.00. W. Wayne Liauh wrote: Xandros au
