Hi Dan,
thanks for your reply.
If you're using 'keyfile' configuration files, you can add the line
"dhcp-send-hostname=false" to the [ipv4] block to prevent sending the
hostname to the DHCP server. I don't believe it's exposed anywhere in
the nm-connection-editor UI at least. Note that setting that option
does not prevent a custom dhclient.conf with "send host-name" from
working, so make sure it's not their either.
After reading your reply, I tried to add:
"
[ipv4]
dhcp-send-hostname=false
"
to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
but that wasn't very successful.
There are not much files under /etc/NetworkManager at all.
Ah, sorry. That block is for the connection files
in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, if that's where the
connection is stored.
If the connection is instead stored in an ifcfg file on Fedora or RHEL,
then you'll want to use "DHCP_SEND_HOSTNAME=no" in the ifcfg file for
the connection in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
Dan
