Alexey, Assuming that you are using the user-land ppp (ie. ppp instead of pppd), adding 'enable loopback' to the default section of ppp.conf might help. I am wondering though, what is causing your hostname to change, and why it would be useful to have it change? The IP address and DNS name of the PPP interface have little to do with the hostname, and if you need a specific address for the hostname it is easy to just add the hostname as an alias for localhost in /etc/hosts. -James On Mon, Nov 12, 2001 at 10:03:19PM -0800, Alexey Koptsevich wrote: > > Hello, > > Is there a way to have X up and running when reconnecting to different ISP > and changing net parameters with dhclient?
