interesting thing is, pump works correctly out of the
box (although I can find no file like
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info. Dhcpcd, however did not
work correctly linux to linux. It would accept the ip
address but not post its client hostname to the dhcpd
server.
However I am having a rough time getting dynamicdns to
work correctly between my dhcp and dns both running on
the same updated cooker box. I still get no ping on
either windows or linux clients that I try to connect
to by hostname. I do have full internet connectivity (
and proper internet dns) and can ping ip addresses
fine.
