Change host name in FC5

tonk

I want to change the hostname of my computer permanetly.

Usually the hostname of my machine was localhost
but once I turned on and the hostname is '241pxo16w85'.
I checked the files:

-----/etc/host.conf---------
order hosts,bind
---------------------------------

------------------/etc/hosts---------------------
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------/etc/sysconfig/network-------------
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
------------------------------------------------------------

I also cheked the man page for hostname and I tried with it,
everything seems to be good but when I restart my computer or/and network service my hosname is again 241pxo16w85

Any idea?

Thanks but I already cheked that
The computer get IP by DHCP but the DHCP server is configurated to give always the same IP to that computer.

I solved partially modifying the function gethostname() in dhclient-script
but if I restart the pc and enter again with fedora is ok but if I reboot with windows(this is a dual boot pc) now gets the host name seted in windows.

And I dont know why. I dont have a bridge nor xen nor mount the windows partition in fstab.
