You can tell dhcpcd not to change your hostname. See the '-D' option in the dhcpcd man page. Network interfaces are started by the /sbin/ifup script, which reads configuration info from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-INTERFACENAME. In your case, you should be able to add the '-D' option to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 like this: DHCPCDARGS='-D' Then restart your network: sesrvice netwrok restart Tony - -- Anthony E.
