Tiger annoyances
I'm having a strange error with terminal since I upgraded to Tiger. Whenever I open a Terminal window when I'm not connected to the internet I get the correct hostname:

Welcome to Darwin!
Revan:~ luke$ echo $HOSTNAME
Revan.local
Revan:~ luke$
When I'm connected to the internet, this is what I get:

126-178:~ luke$ echo $HOSTNAME
126-178.comnet.speede.com
126-178:~ luke$
Before I upgrade, I always got my computer name.
Can anybody recommend a comprehensive guide to the Unix command line environment for Tiger?

Before I upgraded, I always got my computer name at the Terminal.
Another thing that annoys me is I get the Network configuration utility everytime I reboot. I think that might have something to do with me doing a force quit on it the first time it ran.
Any ideas of any fixes for these problems?

I'm using DSL, but I don't connect through a router. I'm connected directly to the DSL modem.
