I think this another thing new to Tiger: when I initiate a PPP connection, my hostname changes, to things like: fliax7-a170.dialup.optusnet.com.au Now, this doesn’t have too many issues, except when I try to initiate a connection with what the hostname used to be, such as a local VNC connection to the other user’s desktop. The solution is to do the following: edit /etc/hostconfig, and replace: HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- with HOSTNAME=the_hostname
