*oops.

greetings,

my system is scientific linux ls5.9, running wireshark 1.0.15.


why is wireshark showing knoppix as hostname instead of the
hostname i have set.

internet service is dsl, connection is thru a 2wire 2701hb router.

when running captures, this is what i see;

  knoppix          home
  192.168.1.64     192.168.1.254

it used to correctly show my assigned hostname until last update.

*oops:

nowhere on my system do i have the name 'knoppix' assigned. only
time i have used a 'knoppix live cd' was over 2 years ago and
wireshark was not involved in any way.

thanks for any help/suggestions/advice.
