Ever since I networked my apartment with a vigor router, whenever I am in Terminal the local hostname is shown as Vigor11. I have a PowerMac G4 and an iBook and it occurs on both computers.
At work on our eMac that we use as an email-server, this does not happen. However, when I bring my laptop to work and plug it in the network and open a terminal window the local hostname displayed is "Vigor11". When I take out the network cable and open a new Terminal window the host name is what it is supposed to be, "meike". As soon as I plug in the net cable and execute a command in the terminal it switches back to Vigor11. Does this have something to do with the fact that the eMac has a static IP address and the iMac dynamic?
How can I avoid this? This may be causing problems when I try to set up MySQL on the machines when it tries to find the local hostname but doesn't match.
Thank you!
