Okay, for those of you who have yet to pick up on the not-so-subtle hints
about reading the man page for the example, here it is.  If you're using a
cablemodem provider that does DHCP, take the first part of your
fully-qualified hostname that they give you (also known as your subscriber
ID) and replace "your_hostname_here" with just that part.

If your fully-qualified hostname is ci12345-a.lame1.oh.home.com, then your
"your_hostname_here" should be "ci12345-a".

Below is the dinky part that when placed in /etc/dhclient.conf should do
it all for you.  (And I mean literally *everything*)

--------8<--------
interface "eth0" {
  send host-name "your_hostname_here";
  request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
    domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
  require subnet-mask;
}
-------->8--------

And no, the require statement is not exactly needed, it's just there to
set an example.  Don't muck with it.
