Hi,
Installed the gentoo system from livecd a couple o months ago.
during the install went through all the directions in the handbook.
for some strange reason, i notice that even though i changed the hostname from livecd during install to gentoo,
when i do netstat from another xp machine on the network, it will still call the gentoo box as livecd.
Although besides that, i refer to it as gentoo everywhere esle normally and it works fine. pings, samba etc.
just that the netstat the remote machine name is still livecd for it.
does anyone know what the problem could be?
