Having DHCP from my ISP, I did:
(1)
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost
127.0.0.1 abc777
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
(2)
/etc/sysconfig/network to:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=abc777
(3)
in: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:b0:d0:16:1c:01
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=abc777
(4) then:
localhost (root) ~ [1008]>service network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
[ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... done.
[ OK ]
localhost (root) ~ [1009]>hostname
x1-6-00-b0-d0-16-1c-01 IPV6????
BOTTOM LINE: I rebooted and got:
abc777 (root) ~ [1000]>hostname
abc777
BINGO!
what I wanted! I suppose I must disable IPV6!
There are a few places where this change is required (as I remember)
