To change this behaviour, add a Of course, this only works if you actually get your IP address via DHCP (since the DHCP server hands off the hostname to the DNS server). If you use a static IP configuration, In contrast to Ubuntu (or even Microsoft Windows) default installations of Fedora do not send the client’s hostname to the DHCP server. To change this behaviour, add a DHCP_HOSTNAME variable to your \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth0 file (eth0 being your NIC’s interface name): UUID="616426f3-ac0b-4a4a-9221-62a0055bfb07" NM_CONTROLLED="yes" NETBOOT="yes" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" DHCP_HOSTNAME="MyFedoraBox" DEVICE="eth0" TYPE="Ethernet" ONBOOT=yes NAME="DHCP" HWADDR=00:25:22:4A:3F:F2 DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no USERS=user Of course, this only… Read more »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[53,63,7],"class_list":["post-1377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-dhcp","tag-dns","tag-fedora"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1377"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1661,"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1377\/revisions\/1661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/possiblelossofprecision.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}DHCP_HOSTNAME<\/code><\/strong> variable to your \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth0<\/code><\/strong> file (eth0<\/code> being your NIC’s interface name):<\/p>\n\r\nUUID="616426f3-ac0b-4a4a-9221-62a0055bfb07"\r\nNM_CONTROLLED="yes"\r\nNETBOOT="yes"\r\nBOOTPROTO="dhcp"\r\nDHCP_HOSTNAME="MyFedoraBox"\r\nDEVICE="eth0"\r\nTYPE="Ethernet"\r\nONBOOT=yes\r\nNAME="DHCP"\r\nHWADDR=00:25:22:4A:3F:F2\r\nDEFROUTE=yes\r\nPEERDNS=yes\r\nPEERROUTES=yes\r\nIPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes\r\nIPV6INIT=no\r\nUSERS=user\r\n<\/pre>\n
