I have following in my /etc/hosts
===========
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
192.168.1.2     webcomp
===========

if I check hostname and domainname it returns
hostname is "webcomp"
domainname is (none)

hostname and domainname are both same in dynamic IP and static IP
setting only IP is changed. Dynamic IP settings works perfectly
without delay. what should I do next?

Thanks!
