Actually I have a similar issue where in workgroup manager the
hostname that it chooses the dns name of the second interface in my
xserve. Even though it is also second in the Port Configuration list
in Sys Prefs. The actual server hostname is correct though 'hostname'
returns the dns name for the first network interface. /etc/
hostconfig. is also set to automatic. DNS resolves both ways for both
network interfaces.
Sorry this is just an observation i had as well.

Graham

Hi,
The Computer Name of my server differs between the Server Admin
application and the Sharing preference panel. The former is correct
but the latter changes itself to an incorrect name after every
restart. Why? I can't see any strange DNS lookup issues--the
incorrect name is mapped to a different MAC address so I think the
problem is somehow internal to the server. I'm running OS X Server
10.4.2 on an old MDD G4 DP.
It's a pain because when my workstations mount a shared directory
on the server they seem to think they are connecting to the
computer named in the Sharing preference panel--not the name used
when I set up the server. This has been happening since I did the
Tiger upgrade.
Any ideas? Yes, I'm probably doing something wrong--please bear
with me--I'm just a sound guy. Thanks.
