Your Knoppix boot probably pushed a dynamic DNS update via DHCP to whatever hands out local DNS names on your LAN and now your local IP is resolving to that name. You probably need to update your hostname if you want it to be something else. dhclient (the DHCP client in CentOS 7) can also send dynamic dns updates when configured. (Look in the man page for dhclient.conf, I believe it is do-forward-updates.) -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
