When I change the hostname on my fedora 12 box, from the installation
default of localhost.localdomain, the network dies until it is reset back.
I'm changing the hostname by the Network control applet in Gnome, and
have checked that /etc/sysconfig/network and it lists the following
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=feddesk
ifconfig shows
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:D1:7F:B3
inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fed1:7fb3/64 Scope:Link

I cant understand why the act of changing the hostname would kill the
network, has anyone got any ideas?
