I very clearly specified the hostname during the setup to be Caesium; However, for some unknown reason, OpenSUSE decided to use the hostname Beryllium instead. The only place I know of where it could have gotten the name from is my Windows 7 install, which has that hostname (Beryllium). However, Windows 7 is on a different hard drive. Is there a way to correct this? How could this have happened in the first place?
Where is the hostname "Beryllium" coming from? Perhaps is to from a PTR lookup of your IP address? This could happen if your DHCP and DNS server communicate, and the Windows DHCP client advertised a hostname but the openSUSE DHCP client did not. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
