I use the MAC address method. Also, you can configure DNSMasq to read the hosts file on the server for local addresses.

I have DHCP running on my linux server, and it gives out ips. I would like to access all my computers in my network by hostname....but that doesn't seem to work unless I put the IP and host in /etc/hosts..
How can I do this? My DHCP server is my router.
