Security Question


I just noticed something different when I brought up my command shell. Normally it looks smething like the following:

[root@h00a76534523.ne.roadrunner.net]

I just rebooted my computer and instead of the above it now looks like this:

[root@dhcp-100-473]

Is this something to do with my internet provider? DHCP is enabled and I am using an ipchains firewall. I checked the messages log, but it's difficult to find any abnormalities. I'm taking this box off line now, but I'm wondering if I should rebuild. I'll take any advice. Thanks.

Most likely its from the ISP if your using DHCP and not a security risk, but being logged in as root is ??
