I'm confused (nothing new :-) as to what changed in regards to DHCP. Ever since the new DHCP stuff was folded in back in April, I've had a problem with DHCP and DNS here at work. It seems my hostname is not getting set in the DNS server, but the IP address is. Confused? Me too! Situation: ---------- I just wiped my box and installed a clean version from the 4.6 iso disks. I set up DHCP via sysinstall so my /etc/dhclient.conf file is empty. I get an IP address served to me from the DHCP server. When perform an "nslookup", the name of my box is not found and the IP address I get has someone else's box. If I ping the IP address from another box, it is answered by my box. This is a mostly-windows system around here, but the Linux guys say it works for them. It used to work for me as well. I spoke to the DNS guy and he says it sounds like I'm not sending the host-name in the DHCP request. Again, a very generic install on my box. Any ideas where to start?
