My computers (both fc5 and fc6) always identify as noname to the router although the names of the mashines are others. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. There is nothing to do exept to start the computer 2. 3. Actual Results: the computer identifies as noname to the network Expected Results: the computer should identify as f. e. tkdesktop.koenning (the given name of the computer) Additional info:
Need more information for this bug report. What is your hostname set to?
my hostname: tkdesktop.koenning
I'm afraid I still don't have enough information to go with. Is there a set of steps to recreate the problem you are having? And by that, I mean all the way from installation to problem.
Ok. as i remeber, i installed FC6 and after the installation the computer was named noname. Then i started the graphical network-administration-tool and changed the name to tkdesktop. On the prompt, i can see that the changes took place, but in the router i still get the Computer shown as noname. (The router is an AVM Fritz!Box 2070)
Can you run the following command to scan your /etc tree for noname: find /etc -type f | xargs grep noname
This command gives no results!
OK, if 'noname' is not in _any_ file in /etc, then it's coming from somewhere else and it's not related to Fedora. Perhaps your AVM Fritz!Box 2070 is defaulting to noname for some reason. Closing this as NOTABUG.
