if you are running a static lan then the /etc/hosts is a perm solution. how ever you are right that if the lan ip is changing a lot or the machine is pulling dhcp direct from their ISP then yes it the prob does return after reboot.
-
yes. I should probably clarify that better in the howto. I'll get around to it sometime.
-
sorry, second thought:
anytime you're pulling off a router/switch, using a reserved IP range (192.168.x.x etc.) the effect is the same regardless of ISP, since the local box is a dhcp server. That seems to be a consideration that gets left out sometimes.
Side note: I happen to know that Debian does not suffer the same problem as RH, since the hostname is set in /etc/hostname at install time and can be changed there. So, this is distro-specific. No idea about other distros.

okay. whenever this problem happens. please atleast do this.
/var/log
there should be a kdm, gdm, X, XFree86 or something log. read the end of it. see what the error is. if you don't understand it. post an ls of that directory, we will tell you what file. But we can't help, if we don't know the problem. (we can guess, but its stupid and painful)

-
