gateway changing the hostname?


Hello all,

I am coming across a strange error with my gateway. When I do a "ping", this is what I get below:

k-63a5b848c6cb4:~ # ping simba
PING simba.gateway.2wire.net (192.168.1.69) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from k-63a5b848c6cb4 (192.168.1.69): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.041 ms
64 bytes from k-63a5b848c6cb4 (192.168.1.69): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.029 ms
64 bytes from k-63a5b848c6cb4 (192.168.1.69): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.023 ms
64 bytes from k-63a5b848c6cb4 (192.168.1.69): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.015 ms

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

TIA

What exactly were you expecting to see? ... looks like you may have an alias in your hosts file or an entry for a machine who's address has changed .. dhcp ?
