Redhat 7.1 w/ 2 NICs - question

[dbc]

Ok I'm using 2 NICs with redhat 7.1 - one connects to my LAN and the other to my cable modem. the cable modem (CM) NIC uses DHCP and automaticlly gets a name from the server like olx-xx.cable.com . the LAN card is assigned to 192.168.0.1 .

How do I assign a hostname to the LAN card without disrupting the DHCP-acquired name for the CM card? if I change my hostname I cant use the cable modem, and it's such a pain to type in the dynamically-assigned olx-xx names (they change every time i reboot) or 192.168.0.1 every time i want to get to the machine.

any ideas?

thanks,
dbc001

hello,
I used linuxconf for this and had now
problems - under the networking you have client task -> host name and client devices
there are tabs for adaptors 0,1,2,3, 4
each has its own setting.
