Changing the host name with Yast2 (overriding the DCHP server)
By jeltsch on Mon, 05/21/2007 - 21:10I couldn't figure out how to change the host name. The host name is e.g. displayed by default (Suse 9) in the command prompt and used by several applications. If you move your computer between different networks, this name changes as the default (Suse 9) is, that the host name is assigned by the DHCP server. But you can override these setting using Yast2: Control Center -> Yast2 modules -> Networ Devices -> Network Card -> authenticate!
