Actually, I got that in /etc/network/interfaces: # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
So, it looks like at the start of the system, it run a DHCP request. It's strange... For the question 2), I meant that if you do a DHCPREQUEST, the dhcp send you, in the DHCPACK, a domain, I just wanted to be able to access this value, if it's stored somewhere. For the question 3), I wanted to know why the command "hostanme --fqdn" returns me: localhost.localdomain. I found out that it was the value stored in /etc/hosts. But the problem is still there, I don't know why there is this value in /etc/hosts and not something like debian.mydomain with mydomain equal to the value that the DHCP gave me at the beginning (cf 2)).
