liquidzoo Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Ok, maybe this topic shouldn't be here. If that's the case, please move it mods. Is there a way to change the hostname for your box in 9.1? My hostname looks like it's the MAC address of my NIC, but I don't want it to be that. I have tried going to MCC -> Network -> Configure internet access (or something close to that) and re-run the networking wizard. I specified a different hostname (localhost just to see if I could change it) but it doesn't change. Is there another place I need to go to get that hostname changed?

liquidzoo Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thanks Mystified. I didn't see that post before. I will give it a try when I get home from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Just wrote a faq, let me know if it helps you.. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?p=36830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I saw that and there were some things mentioned in your faq that were not brought up in the post Mystified linked to. It actually helps me out a lot looking at it from here, now let's see if I can transfer that knowledge to practice when I get home from work...2 1/2 hours to go.

Cannonfodder Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 There were a couple threads. Do a google for hostname and you will find the one I learned from. You must be the phillipines :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidzoo Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I was wondering the same thing. I'm in the states; just go to and get off of work pretty late. Followed your tutorial/faq and it worked great! Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Great! Didn't think you were working late. You sounded like you were waiting until 5pm so I was thinking hmmm what's way out there in la la land? Ramfree came to mind :) Glad the tutorial worked. Let me know if you found any issues or bugs.
