Hi,

I got several problems configuring machines to work allright with dhcp.
Configuring a machine to work with static ip is infinitly much more
easy then with dhcp. Several issues:

/etc/hosts (what should be in there, for the hostname is different
each time another ip has been obtained.
/etc/myname (same story, what do i put in there, for now it contains
a name which doesnt exist)
I got continuesly problems with names which i made up myself
and do not exist ... i dont know how to remedy this.

If i put in my dhclient.conf this:

send host-name "notnice.mydomain.com";
supersede domain-name "mydomain.com";

what will happen? and it confuses me a bit
when having after these statements a request for domain-name and
host-name. 

We dont need an ifconfig.* or a mygate in /etc
I created a dhclient.conf, any suggestions to that file as well?
Bye,

Mipam.
