Finally converted from static IP to DHCP to make Comcast happy. 

Ok, Here's my question, setup seems ok, resolv.conf being updated
correctly, route tables, ifconfig looks right, but it's not setting
my hostname. Other words, the hostname command returns an empty string.
Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,
