+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #469336 +++ Description of problem: NetworkManager does not send hostname to dhcp server Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.7.997-1.fc12.i686.rpm How reproducible: Always Additional info: I have a small home network, 2 laptops and a server. I'm trying to connect the laptops to the server by specifying the hostname of the server, not the IP address - this used to work when the server was running ubuntu, but I've just put a completly clean install of fedora on it instead, and now I have to specify the IP address of the server to connect. BZ #469336 seems to be exactly the issue that I'm seeing, but that claims to have been fixed against a fedora 11 build ... has there been a regession at some point in the last few builds?

Setting the desired hostname isn't nm-applet's UI (even in Fedora 10 Preview) and the hostname doesn't seem to get sent... --- Additional comment from dcbw on 2008-11-24 10:46:06 EDT --- Is this a system connection (ie an ifcfg file) or a connection you created yourself from the applet? For the ifcfg file, make sure DHCP_HOSTNAME=<your desired hostname>. For the user connection, use gconf-editor to drill down to your connection (in /system/networking/connections/) and in the ipv4 directory, add a string property with the name 'dhcp-hostname' and your desired hostname value there. It's unlikely this will ever make it into the applet's UI, instead NM will (by default unless you override it with the methods above) simply send the current hostname of the machine, which I'm sure you've set to what you want it to be. --- Additional comment from john.uk on 2008-11-24 11:04:41 EDT --- OK, so that's rather what I expected the behaviour should be, but for me it's not working in a Fedora 10 Preview installation.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
