I have a quick question. Where do you specify your hostname when you
try to get your network info from your ISP's DHCP server? On my
system, my hostname is different from that my ISP assigns me. I've
seen lines similar to pump/dhcpclient -h "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" (something
like that), but where does one set DHCP_HOSTNAME?

Thanks!!
