Do you want to change the name of your computer
or give it an alias that is only seen on the network.
:scratch:

To set the hostname in RedHat,
you must edit the line HOSTNAME= in /etc/sysconfig/network

And if you insist on doing it the RedHat GUI way, you can fire up redhat-config-network, and configure the system's hostname under the DNS tab.
