rockerduck Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 my MDK 10rc1 linux machine is installed on a MS network domain... I've a fixed hostname bur from time to time my machine "steals" the hostname from another machine in the domain. I get ip from a server but everytime the ip changes ...my hostname changes... How can I maintain my hostname while the ip address is changed by dhcpserver? thank you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 so the linux box is a dhcp client, correct ? I'm not on linux now and I've didn't played much with 10.0 yet. Just I know on 9.1 there was an option like "Affect the host name from the DHCP address" or something like that (I'm translating). Well checking on the 9.1 we have at work, you can see this option only if you run the wizard expert mode. See if there is an equivalent on 10.0. Must be. Uncheck this option.
