Hi - I am using the CentOS v5 desktop&nbsp;&nbsp;installation and am setting up a<br>new lab for our engineering department. Initially I computers got their<br>IP addresses and computer names from the DHCP process and the computer<br>
were getting the info from the dynamic pool. These name would be<br><a href="http://d-23-76.mnsu.edu">d-23-76.mnsu.edu</a>, where the d stood for dynamic and&nbsp;&nbsp;23-76 refered the<br>IP address of xx.xx.23.76. The computer hostname would show up as
<br>d-23-76. I did not want the computers to get different IP address so I<br>put the computers onto our DHCP table as manual DHCP clients by<br>assigning a name and mac address to an IP address.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now the computers<br>get the correct IP address but the hostname is localhost.
<br><br>How can I get the correct name for hostname from DHCP?<br><br>--<br>Denis Becker<br>Information Technology - Engineering<br>MN State Univ., Mankato<br>Mankato, MN<br>ph: 507-389-5617<br>fx: 507-389-5002<br><br>_______________________________________________
