Well I looked futherdown the file and noticed that it was requesting a hostname so I got rid of that. Now it is concatinating the hostname with the domain name and sending that out as the hostname. So if my domain is work.com and my hostname is eowyn then the hostname that I find on other macines is eowynworkcom.work.com. I greped through at least 90% of the files on my disk looking for it but cannot find it. Any one know where that is comming from??? Thanks, Louis Ironclaw wrote:

In my limited experience with DHCP i've found that when you send the hostname from the dhclient.conf file, all you should need to send is the first part of the hostname, the domain part seems to be tacked on by the dhcp server itself.
What do I need to tweek to get the hostname that is broad cast while I am doing dhcp to be the same host name that I configured on the local machine?
My hostname is eowyn and the name that is broadcast is dhcp-1-1-2. I tried the /etc/dhclient.conf file by adding send host-name "eowyn.xxx.com". but that did not work.
Thanks, Louis
