 |
|
Hi Everything seems to be working, exept my router is giving me a new ip address every time i connect because it can't find the hostname. I didn't have this problem before with redhat or debian so it's not the router. I have set /etc/hostname.
This is probably a no brainer but my brain isn't working today
Thanks in advance |

You can add this option to /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
dhcpcd_eth0="-h <hostname>"
|
You need to put in the actual value for <hostname>. The above line is commented out in the stock /etc/conf.d/net file. You need to uncomment it first. |
