I only wish it were a standard. Most of the ISPs I run into do

Wayne,
You do not have a permenant hostname. The IP address has a permenant
hostname in DNS. You have a temporary IP address that is almost never
changed.
Would you please go read about IP addresses, dhcp, and DNS so that you can
speak inteligbly on the subject and stop trying to make something
It appears that I never had this problem because I either was running
Windows or always had an external firewall.
In this regard, I think Red Hat is actually doing us a big favor. An
external firewall is a must if you use a broadband connection. With

It's not only Redhat that changes the Hostname. I used to have that
problem when I first installed Mandrake 8.0 until I manually entered my
own hostname. To even the score I recall playing around with snort one
time and sniffing packets from my XP box when I came across

Ok Wayne, I'll submit. There are two issues here. First, your friend had

Wayne,

askes your internet service provider for information. Your service provider
gives you all of the information it has to offer. You are asking for

You seem to have totally ignored the fact that it is my right that is

Of course, I have to 'warn" you that I am now speaking as a politician.

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

Another misunderstanding I suppose. I'll take it off
I don't like you tone. Taking something out of context (in this case,
comment within a comment, even though it is my own comment) is a very
rude and very childish behavior.

Changing our own config is no problem. But the main issue is, should we
allow a public utility type dhcp to change our hostname?

One of the reasons I never continued to use RedHat is it always says it
