[p4] When a Mac gets a hostname renamed, the user thinks the workspace is "gone" and Perforce is broken.

[Peter Hecht]

Hello,

I work with Mac people.  They are OK, really!  But some how every once and awhile a Mac OS X 10.4/5 gets a different host name.  When that happens, I have to clear out the host field in the P4 client. Once that is done, everything is OK. I don't think it is P4V.app that is causing it, it seems like a DHCP issue.  Yet, it never happens on Windows machines.  The users think it is Perforce's fault.  I don't but my position doesn't matter when it stops them from working.

I guess I will have to write a script to reset the host on Mac clients.  

Any one have any ideas?

 Sincerely,
Peter Hecht
