Then you need
1) a name-server and 2) to have the DHCP-server update that name-server dynamically.
as I wrote in my mail, we have active diretory running with dns included .... (standard software: wins, dhcp, dns in the AD) if I set my suse-box up for gathering IP addresse, it gets one, but the MS dhcp server does not get information about the client name. I just can check a box in the network services that my suse-box gets the pc-name of a resolved name of a dhcp IP addresse which a client had in former times. a windows client just enters the network and sends its name to the dhcp/dns server. its automatically inserted into dhcp and dns. why is it not possible for linux acing the same way? :-(
