Computer not registering with DNS automatically

[tachytrope]

Hey guys. I'm new to Sabayon, but have been running Gentoo for about 2 years now. I have run into an annoying problem. My computer will not register the hostname with the DNS server automatically. No matter how I set my /etc/conf.d/net file, it doesn't do the job. I tried setting dhcp_eth0 = "-h hostname.suffix.com" after a friend told me that is how he got his box working right, but it didn't do the job for me. However, if I kill dhcpcd and run it again with the -h hostname.suffix.com option, then the computer does register with the DNS server. Is there some other configuration I need to do for this to happen automatically?

Thanks for the help!

did you remove NetworkManager from start up too? That will wipe out DNS too

Well, I just did, and it appears to be working now. I just removed NetworkManager from the default runlevel and added net.eth0 instead. Thanks for the tip.

Out of curiosity, is there any way to get NetworkManager to register the hostname with the DNS server?
