put the hostname that your isp gave you in the ifcfg-eth? file


[root@cc123456-a network-scripts]# pwd
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
[root@cc123456-a network-scripts]# cat ./ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=cc123456-a


also set your hostname in the network file

[root@cc123456-a sysconfig]# pwd
/etc/sysconfig
[root@cc123456-a sysconfig]# cat ./network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=cc123456-a
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
GATEWAY=
