Hi again,

FYI, those letters didn't help, because they didn't reach the answer at 
the end. There are some solutions but they didn't work for me either. 
Also, I don't think my router is a DNS server too. It is just a DHCP 
server and not DNS. So, the case is still open for any help...

Thanks,

Danesh

Do you have "DHCP_HOSTNAME=yourhostname" in your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file? This communicates the
hostname that you wish to use to the DCHP server.

You will need to restart networking after making the change.

As I said my DHCP server is my router and yes, I have checked 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and DHCP_HOSTNAME is the 
name of my FC server, not my DHCP server and it is:

DHCP_HOSTNAME=myfcserver

Is it OK ?

Thanks,

No, the DHCP_HOSTNAME in the ifcfg-eth0 file must be the name you desire
for the client which asks the DHCP server for an IP. The _client_ name.
It is NOT the name of the DHCP server to ask.
