Comment 1 for bug 586794

Now this is a weird problem. I assume dhcp client sets this "dhcppc0" address in cases where hostname is bad, missing or similar. I don't see this with my two laptops, but I'm guessing this is somehow related to the dhcp server.

I'll find from the code where this dhcppc0 hostname is set, but in the mean time I have few questions which would help to reproduce the problem:

* what dhcp client are you using, the default from lucid? dpkg -l '*dhcp*' helps here
* what kind of network setup? ethernet, wifi? anything special?
* what's the dhcp server? usually it's in the wireless router
* what is the original hostname (before dhcppc0 is set)?
