[snip] apologies all! /etc/dhcpc/config allows me to set these things... i recently installed dhcpcd instead of dhclient which allowed me to do this. does that mean dhclient cannot set hostnames/domainnames/DNS servers?? and also, why is that not the default? cheers, Sam -- Free High School Science Texts http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fhsst Sam's Homepages http://fommil.homeunix.org/~samuel http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~samuel
