Changes hostname to dhcppc3

[Benjamin Humphrey]

After installing the Indicator Network applet and rebooting, it appears to have changed my hostname to 'dhcppc3' so my terminal now looks like this:

benjamin@dhcppc3:~$

The contents of /etc/hostname is still the same as my original hostname, 'benjamin-netbook'

When I run:

sudo hostname benjamin-netbook

my hostname is changed until the next reboot.

I followed the instructions given here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/help-test-ubuntu-1010s-proposed-network.html
