New hostname varient every connection to wifi or ethernet
Every time I connect to my network, whether it be wireless or wired, a new hostname variant is created. My hostname is simply 'arch', and every connection creates a new 'arch'; arch-2, arch-3 etc. I confirmed this by checking my gateway, looking at my disconnected devices, and seeing about 84 separate entries. Why is this happening? How do I stop this from happening? Sorry if this is a very simple question with a stupid answer, I am still a beginner.

Is this the actual machine hostname that's changing or just the lease on your router?
