DNS Naming??

[Akuma7g]

Hi all, I'm almost completely new to Linux so please bear with me.

I've got a RH7 system set up for learning/testing here at work and am curious about a few things. First and formost being something that I cannot seem to find the answer for.
I have the DNS name of this machine set as Blowsperior.somedomain.com yet when I telnet into other machines with it the host machines all say "Last logged in from Bootdisk1.somedomain.com".
How/Where do I change this?? Anyone know?

Hmm... I'm guessing there is another DNS server running? Are these computers at your work locally? Are they connected to the Internet? Do they have Internet IP's, or local IPs (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc?

For a quick fix, you could probably edit your /etc/hosts file. Put your IP and the hostname there. Not sure if your system will use the hosts file before the DNS server.

Thanks.
Already did that. That was one of the first things that I did yet it still reports itself as Blowsperior locally and Bootdisk1 abroad.

Any other suggestions?
