I'll give that a try on the weekend. I will also add the option "send
host-name" to "/etc/dhclient.conf" to :-
interface "eth0"{
send host-name "linux23dragon.example.org";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.3;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
}
Add take out the option DHCP_HOSTNAME and MACADDR options,
from "/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/dhclient" as well.
I just got to make sure the the router gets the host name of the client PC.
I think the DHCP client will send the MAC and the host name anyway, but you
never know I guess.
I love DHCP

Dave
